The cable industry used to say this - 'stop piracy' its costing us. They pretty much mandate digital boxes, and most new TVs no longer support CATV, killing that argument, and yet TV prices are now going higher at a faster rate - even with competition.
Console gaming could be used as an example. While games for consoles have been pirated, I'd have to imagine that number is very small compared to the number of consoles overall. Games are still $59.99...
