The West is losing money, what TPB hands out for free is something that could be sold and make the West more money. It's not a full solution, but like the court case it takes many battles to win a war.

I just hope TPB are not receiving money from the site and paying for their lawyers. But it was in Sweden and that's a pretty screwed up place.

sharphead I can go to the shops and buy as many DVDs as I like or order them on the Internet to be sent to me via the mail. I don't decide the price, the producer and retailer do. If I don't like the price I don't buy and this does not give me the right to steal the product.

There are tons of shops here that sell DVDs in cardboard sleeves for $2 to $3. So those who think $30 is too much can buy those.

For many stealing content prices are an excuses to steal, they would steal what ever the price. And if prices of all got so low and productions levels were cut, they would steal because the product was not worth buying.
