I'm going to need a source for the claim " As the music industry was ravaged by file sharing" That seems to contradict the facts. As a person that feels morally obligated to pay for the bits I consume (via Netflix and Hulu Plus) I just read this morning that the movie industry has realized record profits... once again. Is their math based on theoretical maximums? That's not sane. One can not build a model on "if everyone whom has seen a movie were to pay up". That negates group viewings and many other random displays. In my field (maybe "our" field) I try to pay for EVERY book I read. Often the authors make themselves available via email or right here in HN comments. Also, these guys are typically writing about moving targets. I'd HATE to be writing a book about something like Node.js or Scala right now. The landscape is moving just rapidly enough as to make your book out of date in a year's time. But I'm just not so sure piracy should be blamed. Sure, I could hit a torrent site and look for a book. I could also get a membership to my public library. And in the end, I WANT to support they gal/guy whom is going to write the next great book on Dojo/Clojure/Backbon.js/Play Framework etc. My point being. Consider the public library, the radio, and network television. Not everyone that is willing to consume free materials, is a pirate. Not every industry that has a price on a consumable resource is losing money if people find a free way to consume said resource.
