Re: Internet Piracy

It's dumb to not give someone access to something they can easily get for free, period. If someone's livelihood is at risk because technology has outgrown the system, then that's a failure of the system. It's the system that's broken, not the droves of people by-passing it.

It's false belief to blindly support how the system was before the internet as an ideal we should try to live up to simply because that's what we're used to. Vast discrepancies in wealth aren't fair under pretty much any circumstance IMO no matter what the utility of a product is, no matter how may people pay for it or use it. While the idea of payment for something of value is pretty ingrained, it's not necessary.

I'm just like everyone on here in practice, I'll torrent some things and buy others, I don't mind in the least paying for something I use or enjoy and feel there's worth in doing so.

I could agree to that. If they are failing to make enough money because of pirates than they have a broken business model and need to adapt to the changing environment. I guess they should find more clever ways to get money from people. Such as micro transactions and super low cost digital downloads.

If the costs are low enough people would not even care to pirate because of the negligible costs to them. Obviously some people still will, but I think they would get more money out of people then they currently are.
