The embezzlement charges didn't seem to make much sense when I took a look. Taken literally, sure, maybe he embezzled. But this is a guy who basically set his own salary at whatever number he wanted every year for 20 years. And apparen

I didn't read the article, and I agree with the premise, but don't get carried away. Ofcourse piracy _can_ detract from purchases. Pornography was a massive pay-for-content industry that was pretty much entirely decimated by the r
