When a company announces their profits I presume this is after the workers in the industry have been paid, so if the prices came down they could be paid the same wage but the overall profit and the shareholders payout would of course be less. I have never understood the need for such huge profits and why each year it's important for them to make even more than the year before. As for the starving people, I think it should be the duty of every company and person that makes more money than is needed to make a difference to the less fortunate of the world. Me stealing off them means they haven't got a few more $s to add to their many millions or billions of $s profit each year which is nothing compared to people that do not have any clean water or food every day of their lives, yet all I hear are the companies complaining because piracy costs them X million each year. They will charge us whetever they think they can get away with and nothing will change without action from the consumer.
