Yes we are kidding of course but people are happy to use technology to help them sell their products which surely counteracts them people downloading who wouldn’t of bought them anyway. Or go back to the old days of selling through magic catalogues? It’s seems people only want the good (as Videoman said) of the internet when overall regardless of these pirates they are still selling loads more of the real thing to a much wider audience they ever did now Gaz 😊

To the OP, Christopher Taylor, there is no similarity between the effect you are complaining about (Schrodinger's Cat) and your effect "the Schrodinger Ploy".

After following this forum with great interest I have to agree with both Narendra & Gaz that next to zero of the people who get the pirated copies would have bought the originals anyway and "that doesn’t make it right, but that's got to do with peoples morals.
However,YoHoHo's very clinical approach and explanation is brutally true IMHO. Buy direct were possible. |

I am an amateur (fancy myself an advanced amateur). I will not buy anything that I feel has been intellectually stolen. I do this for two very good reasons (to me at least):
1. I can afford to pay for my stuff (what I can't afford I can't buy). 2. I want MORE content from interesting minds and feel the need to support them so that they will produce more for me to consume. I do think there are a lot of "users" out there that only care about their myopic self interest. |

And clearly some kind of combination of Netflix mode and the current Penguin website is the way of the future. Except for gimmicks, I doubt "pay per item" will last more than ten more years.

Lame. He didn't do anything wrong. Just made solid arguments on things people didn't like. C'mon people....be open to reason and opinion.

I agree that his posts never crossed a line for me. They were sharp, but always civilized. You could read some contempt between the lines, but that happens all the time here.
Please check regularly if you are becoming the type of magician Jerry Seinfeld jokes about. (This applies to mentalists as well.)

Hard to understand when that's what this place is for, discussion. Disappointing on a lot of fronts. Guess WOKE wins.

For the record I never reported one of his posts but I was certain that by continually stressing the same point over and over again he would be banned. Particularly when statistically right or wrong from a moral and ethical standard point he was arguably promoting piracy. Even his use name suggest this and if it encourages one person to blatantly rip someone off and put the ideas in someone’s head I could see this happening.
In fact I predicted it, and not once was he interested in talking magic in any of his posts imo Gaz 😊 |

To make just a few dollars, people take them, make them their own and make money off my creations - Shame to those who do such things. This is not good, nor is it good for our art & its uplift. So I decided to stop sharing my ideas/creations with the public. Now I only share them with a few well-known names in magic and close friends. In the bargain, who is the looser? - YOU decide. Today, WE the magic creators, lack fresh thinking/ideas and thus one finds a lot of revamped magic being put out. New & fresh creations MUST be protected from the pirates/bootleggers. In today's digital world we need to find a way to protect the magic creator's rights. But the question remains - HOW?
