If it's so good, let's just abolish copyright laws for the sake of the greater benefit of the human race.
Who needs all of that hilarious bullshit "hey we're against copyright infringement, but see how good the piracy is". Just get it straight.

I'm not saying piracy makes everything better...some piracy is extremely bad. But you have to look at piracy at more than one way.
I understand real piracy is like software/music, etc when they duplicate a single copy and resell it as an original to unsuspecting buyers, suppliers and stores. That's nasty....
The piracy on torrents, tubes, newsgroups, forums is duplicated piracy. The original owner still profited from the original sale... the product isn't sold as an original or normally even sold, it's traded, in general people aren't profiting from the duplicated item as a resold-original. That isn't say some aren't making money, just not from selling your product as the original.
Like it or not, these are different types of piracy (2 of I think 6) and the frame set of the people doing the piracy, buying it or selling, are extremely different.
1 million people got kicked off xbox for pirating a game, after buying an xbox, subscribing to a monthly system and of course buying other games... point, pirates spend money.
Piracy sucks... but it's not going away... 3 years of bitching and it grew. So I suggest everyone takes the time to learn more about it, start understanding it and finally learn how to profit from it in your own ways.
