My biggest problem with piracy is that the torrent and tube sites rank higher in search engines than legitimate sites for the paysites name. The people who steal the movies would have never bought anyway, but now that you can search for a model's name and there are 5 full length tube sites or torrent sites in the top 10 search results, you are losing sales from potential buyers This is a shift that just happened in the last couple of years with the stolen content sites steamrolling the SERPS.
