- sgc 7y agoWhen many people copy media (not take it away from someone), they do it because it is not worth 100x-1000x the amount the creator receives to them. Many, if not most or virtually all those people would be willing to pay a more reasonable price without the draconian war enacted by "publishers", who now, in the age of the internet, bring little more than a gate rather than actual distribution. It is certainly more complex than "pay any price, accept any consequence, or you are evil". A strong correlate to this is the fact that many content creators, despite entering into agreements with publishing houses, really could not care less about piracy. The modern history of piracy, legislative creep, and enforcement has been a battle between consumers and publishers, not artists.
