First, thank you for the very passionate comment. I’m not pro-piracy, but am a realist when it comes to this particular subject. Even with the Motion Picture Association and RIAA on the attack against piracy (very aggresively I might add) it has done little to curb the availability of content, for free, online. It is simply a battle I don’t think the entertainment industry can ever win.

As such, they must consider new ways to bolster revenue without solely relying on the primary content itself. To date they have done very little in this respect and opted to let their lawyers speak for them to protect an out-of-date business model. You’re exactly right when you say they will continue to lose money, that’s why something has to change and entertaiment executives cannot expect piracy to go away. It won’t.

I strongly encourage everyone to support artists any in way they can. Buy the product so everyone is fairly compensated and art, in any medium, continues to prosper. As for the argument being one-sided I was simply taken a position on the matter that’s all.

Thanks again!

Also I can’t help but feel that you are pro-piracy and have made this a one-sided article.
