How to pirates benefit?

Question

I see people asking on Y!A all the time: How can I watch this for free or how can I get this software for free?

Common answers are Limewire and Torrents.

My question is how do the original hackers/uploaders benefit for giving away a movie or software for free?

Are the pirates from competing corporations?

You know Apple vs. Microsoft, etc..

Answer 1

"How do the original hackers/uploaders benifit?"

They dont.

"Are the pirates from copeting corporations?"

No.

Note:

Please dont feel bad for any of the Movie companies Music makers or Software developers. They get theirs.

Answer 2

I don't want to sound lame, but isn't it purely the fact that they're helping out everyone else? Knowing how grateful everyone else is for them uploading a certain film or whatever has got to be a huge plus. And I do agree with the person who said it's pushing back against "the Man" (lol). Part of it is definitely a desire to beat the system - we all have it, don't we?

Answer 3

they're called nice people

Answer 4

Hi

Well I think pirates are mainly people who want to rebel against the system ,but I also believe there are a few that work for rival companies that want to sabotage their competition.

I think many people still find it hard to see a value in something you can just download , because it's not a physical thing .

But to answer the question the majority of pirates benefit by beating the system and giving those rich  film music and software companies  the finger.
