Thread: Do famous / rich people torrent? (if you were would you?)

I wonder if they do, i know they could just buy it, but i have the feeling if they were smart enough to do it, they would. I wouldn't know if I would, but i think i would, heck if i were a musician i would probably seed my own works onto waffles:P.

What do you think?
Whould you?



please limit the 5 word answers just to boost your posts.

i most definetly would.
i like the communities.
And it can't get faster.

I still would. Some things just aren't worth as much as the publisher prices them. Also, you can ultimately buy something if you like it that much.

i wouldn't do it.
owner's got the right to set the value

There's 2 possibilities in my opinion:
1) be rich and don't really care about torrent world

I think there are people who have lots of money and don't really care about torrents and stuff.They just go to the shop or use the internet and buy everything my heart wants because daddy has money.

2)be rich,smart and use torrents

In this case I think you use torrents a lot and keep your money safe.

If I were rich I would def still use torrents and get other things with money. That's my thinking.

It depends on personality and hobby... Does not really because people poor, rich or famous.

As for me, if I were rich, I would still do torrenting, and being vip in all trackers, donating all of them, and giving aways many invites to T-I
Ah... but that's only if ......

I'd use whatever the fastest and reliable medium is to get entertainment, I suspect there are companies/websites that offer a product superior to torrents. Steam for games, iTunes (do they have flac?) or actual CDs for music. There are websites that let you download games directly to disk.

I'd overnight anime blurays from japan and watch them in the home cinema of my mansion ;)

Torrents are great but if you throw money at something you'll always get the best of the best of the best, I'd still be on trackers for the community aspect as well as donating and having crazy seedboxes for all my peoples!

yes, i know a couple who are millionaire and maybe multi and they still leech torrents.... rich but cheap!

If I would have the money, I would pay for my digital media IF
1. It is the artist of the media who gets paid with my money, not de label or the industry
2. If there is a working legal alternative for getting this content, in a good quality, and with good speeds.
If I was a milionair and those 2 points were actually there..
But I am not.. and the arguments neither are..
