Funny thing about music vs video game piracy. In the music industry it is commonplace to pay $10-15 for a new CD that has one or two "hits" on it, thus forcing you to purchase a ton of content you don't care for. As a result, users started downloading only the songs they cared about, and thus CD sales dropped. Ironically, surveys and polls have since determined that users who download/swap/steal the songs they actually like (and that you can hear on the radio for free anyways...) are way more likely to purchase music (and infact, through itunes etc, do purchase) than users who do not steal/download/swap music. So in all true reality, its the music pirates that spend the most money on music anyways. Whereas video game pirates typically are pirating the games to make a profit for themselves and to take away from the industry as a whole. To compare music to video game media just doesn't work quite the same.
