Another thing i want to see those economic studies that proves that in general people preffer to pay the right price than to have it for free..

If those things were true there would never been slavery, or slow wages and everything else... human want the most benefits for him.

I can see piracy helping spread content and making people know things that wouldn't be knowed if there wasn't for piracy. But this is most likely when piracy isn't something that anyone can do without any trouble because in this case the urge to buy will be lessened.

And about pirating because you don't have a job still you graduate and then start buying i can relate... I done it in the past but know i buy all my games, but at the same time i know 10x more people that still pirate even having an incoming.

This is why you can't trust random studies, if you bias it to choose the group you want to focus than your outcome will favor your point... so as a paid study from developer would say piracy is bad one paid by Geohot would show it's great, so the study you provided would be flawed (even mention Piratebay in the article)... and i still don't see what good the developer would see in blaming pirates if the piracy free world didn't helped them, because don't matter how much they make excuses it won't bring money or favor their marketshare.

That's just called... basic economic theory.   It's quite literally the foundation of all modern economics.  You won't see any articles on that in the same way that you won't find any scientific articles on "This new amazing thing called gravity."

If i'm not wrong super string theory is applied in gravity as Eistein expanded relativity theory. If one thing in science just the axioms don't change (as "there is gravity") but how it work always change during more discoveries...

And all time economics have new studies that change fundation, if not why would be neo-liberals, classics and different lines of studies??? Are you economist by the way?? Because China growth were based in piracy and stealth that didn't helped other markets if not for theirself.

I see you skiped the discussion about the article you brought and how piracy help music...

And in the market theories i studied the basis were never that a person preffer to buy for the right price than to steal... people don't steal for 2 reasons, one is the fear of being caught and the other ethics and social reason not because they like to spend their money... maybe you should put togheter the studies from diferent knowledges... the foundation of humanity is to take by force when you can.

 

I'll lunch and i'll finish soon.
