- smokeyj 15y agoTrue, stopping the economy is one way to stop piracy.
- Sindisil 15y agoNo, it's not. If anything, continued or increased economic slowdown will increase piracy, as people have both less disposable income and less regard for increasingly abused intellectual property rights.
- gt384u 15y ago> No, it's not. I think you may be right, but only if you consider piracy to not be part of "the economy". My understanding at least is that it very much is.
- bediger 15y agoSure, that's what the name says and so forth, but haven't you ever heard to not judge a book by its cover? The internals of the bills are so weird, that you can't help but suspect that something else is going on there.
