It's almost the same with information technology. The publishers could search for alternative incomes, to survive the change, but simply banning piracy is like banning machines to save the old ways of the industry.

No working person who produces a good or service should have to adjust to poor and cheap individual, like yourself, who refuses to compensate them for their efforts. 

I guess, no one would pay money for watching stupid reality shows and quizes in the TV, or watch Youtube videos, and console sales chartz.

But that is OK, because the people behind these services still get paid through advertisments.

 

There IS a significant market of people who don't want/can't pay for things, and in case of the media, there IS a compromise.

If there would be a decent amount and quality of advertisment-supported games, (not $30million blockbusters, I don't care about these), just like Battlefield Heroes, or those indie games that are now sold for $10, I would have no reason to download the others.
