I'm talking about what's possible. You're talking about rules. I'm assuming rules are meaningless, because your rules aren't exactly stopping anything anyway.

I'm talking about what's possible. You're talking about rules. I'm assuming rules are meaningless, because your rules aren't exactly stopping anything anyway. If my aunt builds a home, she can lock that shit down and not give the keys until you pay. Heck in some states she can kill you if you break in. And yes, same story. She can charge 50 milliion for a 10x10 foot box. Doesn't mean she deserves it does it? Also, even if price is "reasonable", my point does not change. I totally understand wanting to be paid, I really do. I want to be paid for everything I do too. Not likely though. The market is trying to figure out the value of movies/music/digital goods. Piracy is part of that. Maybe one day it will stop (figure out how to lock that down so can't be shared). Maybe it's here forever (cat-and-mouse continues, lawyers continue to sue individuals). In either case, the market rate is what people are willing to pay in the aggregate.
