this whole [piracy argument comes down to pirates trying to justify themselves and non pirates trying to villify pirates. even this dev is saying you cant stop it so theres no point in arguing. i say, as a music pirate, i have no justification for it it is just free and easy. if pirqates stop saaying we help the industry more or blah blah blah there would be no arguing, just pirate if youre going to and shut up about it

There are more kinds of pirates look a few posts up on one of myt posts taling about this.

There is no justification here it´s truth, if you are a pirate and just because you can download and dont support the songs,movies or games that you really like and normaly would have bought then you are the one that should shupt up about it.

Only bigtime idiot assholes pirate stuff without spporting their company and there is 2 of you in this thread that actually coness to only download ond no support.

As for the undelined part here you go:

A study commissioned by the Swiss government has found that the country's current piracy laws, which allow downloading of stuff for "personal use", should stay. Because they actually encourage people to buy more stuff.

 

Those downloading music were led to buy more music, and those downloading games were also found to actually be the biggest purchasers of games, etc.

The study, commissioned by an unnamed company and performed by the GfK Group, found that users of pirate sites purchase a good deal of content legally, reports German technology site Telepolis.

 

Users of pirate sites on average buy more media content than those who do not use such sites, according to the study, validating the position that many supporters of these sites take that most use it as a way to preview content before they actually purchase it.

Despite the claims of the MPAA and other supporters of SOPA and PIPA, file-sharing does not negatively impact box office sales in the U.S., according to a new study conducted by economists from Wellesley College and the University of Minnesota.

The study found that longer gaps between a movie’s release in America and its release in foreign countries led to increased piracy in those countries, and correspondingly lower box office sales. The study estimates that pre-release piracy impacted foreign box office sales by as much as 7%
In the U.S., however, box office sales were not impacted by piracy at all. The study concludes that the impact of piracy is driven primarily by the lack of legal availability of content in foreign markets.

Notice this a respected instotutions and educated people trying to find out the real effects of piracy and not like the industry to put a pricetag on every download and file it like a loss.

There is and will always be people the will use the rules and not give anything back but as theese studies show there are also benefits to be had and companies have to look at both and figure a buisnessmodell somewhere in between.

Downloading is a consumer tool the companies dont want you to have so they can sell you shit over and over again with a pretty cover.
