Music industry is larger than ever and growing. Don't read the RIAA trash, it's total bullshit.

It takes hours to download a movie on a normal cox home pipe. And most movies are streaming now, flash based. Even dialup can watch some.
People do not know who the MPAA and RIAA are, and if they did - they don't care.

You plugin an svideo cable from your computer to your tv, (most tvs take usb now too) This is less complex than my dvd player and/or vcr. As for online technology, streaming is pretty stupid proof.

A number of the ones who just want porn and know how to get it for free, however, will stop buying.

People that will only pirate, will never buy anyway. But they will talk - branding comes in for that.
Others, will buy - and do buy.
It doesn't "SLOW" your sales down, that is fucking totally impossible. The logic behind that doesn't even statically make since. You people think piracy, means every person in the world now has it. Please, think people.. Exposure is exposure.
Coke buys ads and never sells a fucking can. You do the math.
