I forgot the title when I saved the main text, but I already submitted it. I think it was Friday when I did it, but I decided to post it here to see what you all think. It is about illegal downloading of music.


The intro talks about how people want to ban downloading music (which I also forgot to save but already submitted).


[option] @@RANDOMNAME@@, the lead singer of Steeltalica, a heavy metal rock band, agrees with the idea. "People should have to buy our music at stores, for 13 @@CURRENCY@@'s like they always do! How can I afford that 14th mansion with people getting my music for free?"
[effects] Free downloading of music is banned and perpetrators are fined
[stats]Small increase for economy, decrease for civil rights.

[option] The creator of free music downloader Kazster, @@RANDOMNAME@@ disagrees. "Music should be allowed to be downloaded from my program, man. People don't want to pay ridiculous prices for their CD's. Besides, people will get free music some other way."
[effects]People download millions of songs daily from free music programs
[stats]Economy does not change, increase in civil rights.

[option] "Hey, I've got a swell idea." says @@RANDOMNAME@@, a government supporter. "Why don't we make them pay five @@CURRENCY@@'s every month for Kazster. All money would go to the government, of course."
[effects]People pay the government to download music off the internet
[stats]Civil rights go up a little, economy also goes up alot

[option] Finally, @@RANDOMNAME@@ finds an alternative that might appeal for downloaders and muscians both. "Why don't we make them pay the five @@CURRENCY@@'s, but then give the money to the muscians. People wouldn't have to pay as much for CD's. Everybody would be happy!"

Looks good, except the efects are a little wierd. But the Gms will probably tweek those when they see it.

BTW, I did a similar one about software. I like the name KaZoO better then Kazster, but I guess Napster+KaZaA....

Bump.

The economy would get slightly worse for option number two, and slightly better for option number 4.

alot


Good spelling and grammer..... :lol: :roll:

Oooh, I said a lot wrong. :roll:

Naleth and Kahta were the only one with positive opinions. The rest of you have no place here.

Eh, I'm still logged into Eepatin. Oh well, not much difference.

i think they souldn,t do illegal downloading because it is bad and the people responsible should be caught and be put in jails for atleast 3 months.

Option #3, economy should decreace slightly, not increace(as nothings going towards the people making or distributing the music, it would do nothing to support a capitalistic economy). Or perhaps you could replace the effect on the economy with a slight tax cut and have the cosmetic phrase be something to the effect of "the government uses fee-based file-sharing services to raise money".

I also second that there should be a slight increace in the economy for option #4, and that #1 should have no effect on the economy(CD purchases would offset, but not necessarialy counter piracy losses).

Good spelling and grammer..... :lol: :roll:
