> as we all know pirating is purely the result of people not wanting to pay and has not to do with the free thing providing better quality and greater convenience. Speak for yourself. What about those in locations where access to various forms of media is prohibited? Or those who are in poverty/in impoverished areas? Because they're unable to pay to access media forms they should be prevented from accessing them? Has youtube killed Spotify's business? How about piratebay? Is Hollywood in shambles? P2p media sharing has been around forever and is still conveniently available, yet these industries persist and rake in. They've had little impact to the bottomlines of these industries and will likely continue to have little impact.
