all i got from that is some bla bla a little whine whine and some more bla bla

Talking about developers not earning enough money because many people play games without paying for them? Yes, there's no relevance or anything else in this article, just whining.
|
well i think this is common knowledge by now. What does yet another article accomplish? does he think everyone will magically stop pirating or what?
|
Of course not, but that doesn't mean he can't put attention on the subject. There's no reason to be silent and just let all of this happen without trying to bring attention to it.

It would have been better if he comes up with a solution than just being guy 100.000 who complains about it on the internet;.
Then again it is not the only industry getting hurt...Especially the Anime publishers are getting hurt;..You can find easily more than 100 members downloading anime episodes..Probably saw more than 40-50 series;...and would not be surprised if less than 10 members buys the anime... I know how it hurts considering I invested in one (Nekotachi entertainmen) ...

Actually that's not ture. There was a recent study by the Japanese government that found that piracy of anime shows increased DVD sales. http://torrentfreak.com/internet-piracy-boosts-anime-sales-study-concludes-110203/
Anyway, I personally don't believe piracy is harming the industry. It may be harming specific developers (and even that is debatable) but not the industry as a whole. Piracy has always existed for any media (books, music, movies, video games...) yet those industries haven't died and still make enormous profits to this day.
