Don't they know that the internet makes it so that people are entitled to everything without paying. It is our right, as internet users, to get everything that we want, without providing compensation for the products we use.

What does this have to do with the Internet? As I recall it, people were quite efficient at pirating stuff before the Internet became popular.

 

Yeah, I know, someone could get a full copy of Commander Keen from a BBS.  I never did it though, because I had respect for people, and I didn't want my phone line tied up for god knows how long.

And are we talking all forms of piracy?  Or just the digital distribution?  Because the digital distribution aspect of piracy has taken off temendously this decade, mainly since the P2P craze starting in the early part of this decade, Napster and all those P2P clients, BitTorrents, etc.  I would need some compelling evidence saying otherwise to convince me otherwise.
