>You have to acknowledge that if everyone did like you, then the whole thing wouldn't be able to sustain itself. It only works because most people take the hit and play by the rules. Except there's no data proving that people pirating movies/music/... are not also paying the industry. Anecdotally, the persons I know in the habit of pirating entertainments are also some of the biggest spenders I know on the same things. So, it's entirely possible that if everyone did like him, the whole thing would sustain itself. And if you have something tending to prove the contrary, I'm quite curious.
