Piracy is a service problem. -Gabe newell
There are those that will pirate either way, so no matter what you do they wont be your customer. And there are those that pirate because they cant afford it, which you cant really influence either. And lastly those that do for convenience, which leads into the service argument.

- alexvoda 4y agoJust as applicable to music and video. This is the reason Spotify works and Netflix used to work but no longer does. People no longer pirate music because Spotify is more convenient. Those who still do are archivists (data hoarders) and nothing will stop them. Netflix used to be like that.
