Theft is a very forced metaphor for software piracy

[Distant Star]

Ok so we are in a crisis right now. It's the so called house bubble. Banks were giving loans to people they could never afford. That's destroying peoples lives, those people just want a house, they don't want to live on the streets. Many people that live by the rules and dont have great jobs. Well what they do is eat, sleep, work, talk and that's it. Happy life you got there. Life is so expensive already, I believe digital entertainment makes people happy and escape from reality.

However things turning in to our favor, we already have Netflix (pay on TV) and Hulu (ads on PC). I think the entertainment industry is slowly shifting to wards this. Already 10 million subscribers for Netflix and Hulu... well this is interesting. 42 million or 10 million What's going on here? Is there any American who bothers with piracy? Atleast for Movies. If these movies services were also allowed in other countrys let's say Cannada it would reduce would piracy by 30%. Compared to US.

Piracy per country

Piracy isn't against developers, musicians, producers or publishers. It's against the monetary system itself. The creators want people to love/like their creation rather then driving a big car. Humans don't want money, yet our world relies too much on money. This is why everthing is so ridiculisly expensive. Most people have to look outside their country, if they think everything is affordable.

Our goverments are really playing with us because we don't bother enough (we are to greedy as a species). I also think they are a little bit affraid to make piracy "a theft" and people are forced to pay a fine. Even if it's "only the amount of the retail prices". Every citizen o well all most every citizen in the world would be in debt.

Sooner or later we will probably get what we want, just slowed down by regulation, lobbyists etc. That's only because we are slowly considering that we are paying to much...
