Why pay when I can access content for free? YouTube pays some cents to music labels, I can listen to music for free on YouTube and I can block ads. The only purchases I make are to reward creators, often only after I've enjoyed the goods. Copyright is highly immoral as I never got into any contract with anyone and yet I'm supposedly a criminal because I download pirated content. Whoever is sharing copyrighted content is breaching a contract and should be prosecutable. I sell software and it's nice to have passive income. I found a few communities who heavily pirated my code and I couldn't do jackshit because I don't make lawyer money and dmca does nothing but waste time. I think piracy is a natural tax imposed on the market: if you can't point to your customer who shared your property and sue him you are probably making some nice passive money. There's always going to be someone smarter than the average who will bypass your security. I don't mind pirates. The problem we have is with major publishers being rich enough they can bribe the government to do crap like dmca and infringe on our rights.
