I wouldn't use iTunes if the songs were free. I said a delivery method and price point that they agree with. Also, you will never get rid of all piracy but if you do things right it will not be something you are concerned about.

If you like stealing stuff or getting stuff for free, just admit it, I don't have a problem with that. It's when people try to make this into some sort of complicated argument regarding business models and free speech is when it gets silly.

Look guy, I was not just saying I hate piracy for the hell of it. I don't like it and I don't take shit that doesn't belong to me. I'm sitting here editing images in that piece of shit GIMP right now because I won't go download Photoshop for free.
And yes, they have a better delivery method. They are like Steam for all types of files and either let you download the shit for waiting and getting ads in your face or they charge you a low fee to get the content without it being a pain in the ass. My point was that customers pulled out their credit card and paid for that because they agreed with the price and service. They pull out their credit cards in bulk on Steam and even buy shit they never use when the price is right.
No matter how much you fight it you are going to have to pick between doing the same shit and dealing with the lower sales you'll see as time goes on or adjusting to the new market. The only way porn sales would increase without offering something that more customers actually value enough to pay for would be for everything pirated to magically fall off of the internet. You can make 5000000 points about how it is wrong and you still won't make that happen so now what?
Also, the price point that porn surfers find agreeable might not be agreeable with you. Shit happens, things change, you won't stop that.
