It never occurred to you that you simply cannot afford such a lifestyle? It seems you guys delude yourself into thinking it would be reasonable to fight their business practices with piracy while you are actually providing them with a target by breaking the law.

F-That! Of course it's occurred to me I can't afford "such a lifestyle." That's why I steal the content! Just because I was born into poverty, barely made it out of high school, and lack the genetics, wherewithal and mental acumen to move myself into a better life doesn't mean I'm going to deny myself life's pleasures. Screw you rich people who _can_ afford the lifestyle. If you want me to play by the rules you've ma…

Is your position "I'll break the law because I probably won't face consequences"? Would you go to jail for your principles? I'm honestly just curious.

I want it for music. Would be perfect for parties as an alternative to spotify, grooveshark etc. Need queuing and support for a bunch of weird open formats and then we're good to go.

How about actually paying for music instead of committing a crime?

I buy music because I now have legal avenues to do so. It's much harder to get movies. I don't live in the USA or Europe and have sporadic bandwidth with frequent cuts. Streaming solutions are almost impossible. I want a service where I can buy a movie, download its file, and view it repeatedly, back it up, transfer it from my NAS to an external hard drive and ack again, etc. I don't know of any service that permits this. I don't share my files, don't intend to reshare my bought media, I just want a service where I can "own" the films I buy. No one provides this (except the Pirate Bay, etc.).

Well there was hiphop https://github.com/hiphopapp/hiphop but it seems it is offline for now

It's gone forever, but it was forked:

Too expensive. Try buying your way to a thousand song library that rotates about a quarter of the songs per year. When that becomes cheap enough for a minimum wager like me without having to weigh the tradeoffs against necessities, I'll be a buyer.

Is free Spotify with ads too expensive? (or even premium at $10 per month)

What's the price point you're looking for? "thousand song library that rotates about a quarter of the songs per year" means 1k at start, then 250 per year. Taking spotify as an example, that's $0.01 per song the first month, then $0.48 per new song at your rate of cycling through the library.

I pay for music, I don't pay for copies of music. Copying music is effortless and doesn't merit reward.

So....what exactly is Isohunt.to? Isohunt.com was shut down and the footer of Isohunt.to says they are not affiliated with Isohunt inc. So...wouldn't it be safe to assume that Isohunt.to is just an MPAA/RIAA honeypot that's designed to snap up users of the original Isohunt who just don't notice the difference? I'd stay 50,000 miles away from them and any of their "products."

Isohunt.to is an unrelated clone of the original.
