TechTech Talk: Why still illegal download?

eMule, torrent.to, kinox.to, RapidShare - we know them all! Some of us have downloaded half an hour MP3 songs even with the museum WinMX or sucked several days kilobytes for high bad movie rips. But the trend is increasingly for legal consumption.

Now let's face it - why should you download still illegal data today? If you look at the relevant portals, you can see a pleasant trend: Although illegal content still have an audience, but are far less used in the ratio. The Darknet (Usenet and Co.) of which are now completely excluded times. Of course, there are hardly any official figures of such portals, but based on comments and onsite download counters you can get a rough picture.

In times of Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Juke, max cathedrals, Watch Ever, Spotify and so on is the comfortable numbers and use a flat rate to lengths more relaxed than to install annoying programs to make complicated settings and at the end of a broken file or extremely bad quality to load. Who has a 4K TV, will it not play a 640p movie. By the time one then months later (legitimate) mail received from a lawyer, the fun stops at the free enjoyment and goes a lot more into money than a simple visit to the cinema.

Illegal downloads only for testing purposes?
But what is the current status? Why not you load illegal movies / series / games / programs from the network? Firstly, many want to take full advantage of a program to assess it can. Especially with Windows Although there are many demos can properly use it then the program but not. Although one gets an insight into the range of functions, yet to create an impression hardly works.

With music you can listen to relaxed online (as well as offline in stores) various MP3 snippets meanwhile. This helps in the purchase decision. However, when physical and digital albums are on the same price level, a consumer simply lack understanding. Meanwhile has also improved luckily that.

Contrast, smartphone apps have a very different life of its own. Many cracked games or programs only exist because they can be used completely offline thanks to a crack. About the topic online in forced Apps I have already philosophized another time. During my research I often encountered over comments like these:

"I bought the app for a long time, but you want to use in the web / offline."
"From game XYZ there was unfortunately no demo, got it now can allude and buy me definitely!"
"The app did not exist in Europe, when it is available, I like to give 5,99 Euro for the great work!"
Since then you can pay a lot easier digital content, revenue rises: Whether Appstore, Amazon, eBay or electrical specialty store. Everyone benefits! A cracked file or a Serial-Cracker is also home to a great danger that no one can confirm that the file is safe and hidden on your system no backdoor.

At the end everyone must know himself what he does. I buy better apps in the Play Store, Games on Steam, Origin and Co. and music at Amazon, iTunes or commercially. Makes the time! When you physically buy something, it gets a very different value! In times of digitization not a bad thing.
