We're talking about how a band is able to make money in a world were pirating is illegal. If the band can't succeed despite the laws put into place, that reflects on them and no one else. Quit making a bunch of nonsense excuses to this.
Yet, you bluntly ignore the continous information on how pirating can't hurt the band in the long run. How pirating can be the source of why a band collaspses.
Irrelevant do to your blatant incomprehension.
Ok. So, we aren't trying to make you look like an idiot at this point, which you are doing a good job, but here is how you debated.
We give you evidence you are wrong.
You respond by saying that because we gave evidence and you didn't we can comprehend everything. Which the only thing you say to back up your claims is that you have an uncle in the music business. Yeah, that proves you have a lot of knowledge. Also, weren't you the one who said and I quote
Ahhh, shaming. The best way to get people to do what you want or feel what you want. Not hypocritical at all to use something unscrupulous to fight against another action deemed unscrupulous.
... Ehem. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
Instead of making personal attacks, why don't you come up with a good argument?
That wasn't a personal attack. Don't come on the debate forum if you feel like people are attacking you buy making a statement.
Reading comprehension. You could use it! Evidenced by the fact that you can't understand anything in this entire thread.
Why don't you look at the statement I made above. Also, this is what you define as a personal attack and like quoted above. Can you also read the post instead of just blindly debating? That may actually help you in this debate.

So here the thing, you accuse someone of something, then go on to do the same thing. So here is what we have to realize.
1. You are at this point a troll not willing to debate. As there have been people on this forum able to justify pirating, and provide evidence to their claims, of which you are not one of them.
2. Just and ignorant poster who has no idea how to debate and just likes to make a fool of themself. It is possible to have a debate with someone you disagree with based on FACTs and not the way you percieve a notation.
If this is the best this debate forum can produce, I'm outta here. Unless your next argument is cohesive and worth replying to don't expect me to come back. Take the last word for all I care, it's clear that's what you want.
Ok. So lets talk about this part and your debating style since you want to try and debate everyone.
Firstly, you win a debate not by having the last word, but actually providing evidence for your case.
Second, instead of actually being smart enough to look up evidence to support you claims you go on personal experience. This is a fallacy in itself. You are making a sweeping generalization because that is how you feel. This holds no grounds in a debate.
Thirdly, in order to deal with evidence provided, you call it wrong. Lady Gaga's tour grossed 500,000 dollars a night, of which she took 50,000 dollars. Off the international revenue, she would only make 1.65 million dollars. Now she made 52 million dollars last year in profits. As a total amount last year she made 113 million from concerts. So how can it be that she only had 52 million from profits. Oh, because concerts aren't free. She has to pay for the stuff. Did 75% of the money she made come from the tour. Yes. Now how much of that money is in the bank? only 1.65 million. Do I need to make this easier to understand? Do you know how lond this tour lasted? Can artist who haven't reached her popularity reach this. You talked about reading comprehension, yet can we get some common sense in here.
Moreover, don't use words in the wrong way to make youself look smarter than you are. Cohesive would me a united argument. Can you tell me which one isn't.
Further, instead of crying about what people are saying just because they are against you, why don't you grow up. It is a debate forum. It is not a place for little boys who get their feelings hurt extremely easily and when they have had enough cry their way with a last insulting bite to make themselves feel better. This isn't being jugemental, it is a fact. Base on how the last post had people post evidence, yet you skip over it to say how you feel mistreated by bad debaters.
Lastly, its fine if you don't come back. If you ever do, try to be more mature and realize that people are going to disagree with you.
