I haven't read the whole thread, just the OP, but I know that when I download stuff it's usually stuff that I would never pay for. Either that, or the product simply isn't available legally anymore. From what I've understood, this is the case for many people, so no profit is removed. Sure, it's a very morally ambiguous area, but the fact of the matter is, piracy hasn't lowered profit as much as people like to believe.
