errr....
by piracy, do you mean copying stuff and reselling it (the real kind, which is bad in every sense)
or file sharing, for which you trade music recorded on the radio, or shows recorded on TV or movies recorded on TV.... afterall, no one eversaid that you couldn't record something that airs and then pass it on... "hey I made you a mixed tape" ... or VHS sales? the industry made loads of cash from that... but now that CDs are cheap... it's a big NO NO.... it's just hypocrism.
Now software, I can't really use the same annalogy, there really is no way to justify it.
But for me, anything that airs (TV or radio) should be void of copyrights for all non professional/ profit usage (in other words, average joe should be legally alowed to DL that cause he could have had he turned on his TV). Now i'm not saying companies shouldn't sell them anymore... just that this is just the service of putting something available on a clean and neat medium and that is the only added value...
