HD DVD & Bluray joins PirateBay

Ok not exactly PirateBay or I haven't checked it out yet. But yes the Piracy part IS TRUE.

For those who are still in the dark the news is that BluRay Pirated DVDs are available now on certain p2p networks. If you going to ask me which network, I'll say "No". Hint, there is only one p2p network from where it is worth downloading and gives highest speed. Bluray disks / rips as they call em have been around for quite few months now. Some content that wasn't available on BluRay has ALSO been ported to bluray by these cool guys.

So if you were wondering whether or not to buy BluRay Drives and players, well go ahead. Before you go "yipeeing" you might wanna consider the price tag and the fact that I haven't tested it out myself, I don't even own a BluRay player and stuff. Its the damn tracker I wrote to detect pirated content that threw it on my face. And I confirmed it through listings on the undernet. Apart from Bluray HD DVD is also equally listed. However, I see more listing of BluRay. I propose the advocates (commercial engines) of these two technologies can benefit by promoting No-Loss piracy. More on No-Loss piracy later. It will definitely bring in the adoption of these technologies. Especially now that DRM/Content Locking etc. has been done away with. Hurray for technology, everyone can use it now.

No-loss piracy is a term that I made up over an eating-lunch-alone session. In Short "No-Loss piracy is the method of 21st century marketing where one or more copyright owners (or in partnership) release complete content/technology into pirate waters in order satisfy a bigger goal."

Why is it called No-Loss?
Producer A has rights to a certain movie. Company B has a device technology (as in our case here). Company B will negotiate to compensate A for the loss in revenue but the loss is minimal compared to exposure A's product will receive or whatever tangible/intangible benefits. On a mutual not-publicized consent the Producer A's content will be released into pirate waters that will also benefit Company B in a mutual respect. Within days the Internet will have individual, unlinked references to both/either of them boosting search engine results for the keyword. Think "Business".


Piracy did some good after all.
