In case you missed this paragraph:
"Piracy, for me is certainly not about not wanting to pay.
It's about the feeling that the money I pay mostly doesn't
go to creators, but to the companies in-between who doesn't
deserve it. I don't want to support such an industry."
Paraphrased:
"I want to pay, but the creators don't get most of the money.
So rather than paying, I pirate instead."
This invalidates your argument.
- d0mine 15y agoIt should be self-evident that not all people are like the author of the paragraph you cited.
- biot 15y agoIt's also self-evident that I was replying to the person who wrote it, thus I made no claims about what "all people" do. Besides which, your statement that "piracy != lost sale" is demonstrably false. You could have qualified your statement with "in some cases" or "for some people", but such a trivially true claim wouldn't add much to the discussion since the discussion is about what one person does.
