I think some people miss the point that there are two issues here, and only focus on one.
The first is that content gets pirated. As pointed out over and over again, piracy has always been around , and always will.
The second issue, that many seem to forget is, the profiting of other peoples work.
Filehosters and upload monkeys make money from John Doe, off of my content. Not saying its a stolen/lost sale, because John doe probably doesn't trust us anyway, but its still not right that someone other than me, or whoever I decide, should profit from my work. If my content should be available for free on any host, that is up to me, I don't need someone else helping me with making that decision.
You can argue piracy all day long, with valid arguments for both sides i guess, but what u can not argue with is why someone else has the right to profit/make money off of my product.
