Hope that clarifies my position.
Piracy == bad.
Wasting money and time trying to stop piracy == pointless.

Nothing has EVER had ANY impact on piracy? Ok.
If piracy was made legal, and you could pirate movies, software, music, whatever the fuck you like, to your own content, knowing it was fully within the law to do so, would you expect piracy levels to go higher, or stay the same as they are now?
Piracy is bigger than it ever was because it's so easy to do, and is really fuck all to do with the argument as to whether stronger anti-piracy measures should be taken. More people, more content, easier distribution - of course it's bigger than it ever was. You can say the same about speeding - more people speed now than ever before. It has fuck all relevance, but by your logic speed cameras should be done away with, as even though as a deterrent they work for many, the number of speeding drivers has still increased.
