When something is not scarce and you can copy it unbeknownst to anyone else, I don't think you have much of an argument. |

| Yes it does Mr. Logic, because if it was IMPOSSIBLE for you to STEAL IT, you would have paid for it ! So , you get to watch/listen to it for free on Pirate Bay, the industry raises their damn prices to subsidize the loss of revenue, and I get to pay more.
So heres logic, YOU are stealing from ME. |

| Just like I though. Not even a single counterpoint. Zero.
Logic always wins. |

As do all people who don't like to pay for things they want. I never pirated for lack of affordability, only for lack of availability. I don't pirate now because the stuff I would have pirated is available here, and now.
I despise the Entertainment Industry for being "Robber Barons", but I don't try to "punish" them by infringement. I deny them their income legally: I just don't buy their "stuff".
I have probably spent as much on entertainment in the last seventeen years as in the seventeen years before. But probably around 90% less on MAFIAA properties in the last seventeen years than the previous seventeen years.
The MAFIAA doesn't have a Monopoly, and I am not supporting them.

No problem at all with that method of exercising your free market rights. That is how it should be done and does have an effect on sellers if more would follow your lead.

I detect a flawed premise; possibly of the "Straw Man" variety. My philosophy is simple: If it isn't worth paying for, it isn't worth stealing.
