I'm not sure piracy is the bug-a-boo everyone here is making it out to be. The few times I signed up for paysites was because of content I found on usenet.
Why did I stop?
Agressive Rebilling was the culprit - Not because I could get the content for free elsewhere. I got sick and tired of having to call my credit card company because i could not unsubscribe.
I'm not claiming piracy has no affect on sales but, in my experience at least, some of the business practices of the industry brought a lot of this problem upon itself. To this day I won't give my cc info to a sex site on the net. I only use gift cards.
