Yeah, you're right. In my opinion though...it's not the companies that produced the contents fault. They are simply trying to stay alive. And I don't think anybody has ever had a problem with people sharing shit with their buddies.
I think if people want to place blame, it should be placed squarely on the shoulders of the torrent and file sharing sites that are USING people to upload content that they got from a paysite to create the traffic demand for free shit that the site is monetizing on pre-paid ad spots.
I don't think any company wants to go after the end user/potential consumer. But the way the laws are written has kinda tied everybodies hands behind our backs to keep us from going after the REAL crooks: The owners of the torrent and file sharing sites.
