The revenue lost is not the only downside.

Roughly 20% of internet traffic is piracy related. Or basically 1/5th of what I pay my isp, is to pay for bandwidth used for piracy... Overpriced internet with bandwidth caps.

Well, our internet is actually very cheap with unlimited downloads (€25 per month, umlimited, 50 Mbps), so it's not like we are hurting that one guy somewhere that has a morality issue. Also, the tax is actually very low, less than 1%, it's better that those copyright holders get something than absolutely nothing. I download probably about 50-100GB per month, so it's absolutely worth it to me not to pay anything for it.

Here it is $85 a month for unlimited (100mbps), cheapest is $33 a month 25GB cap 5mbps, next available tier is $65 a month, 100GB cap 30 mbps. It's $1.50 per extra GB used. (25 euros is about 37 CAD)

$1020 a year for unlimited use internet here. (before tax)

Currently I pay $57 a month (bought the modem, $8 a month for modem otherwise) for 270GB and 30 mbps (grandfather package). Still $684 a year, I would love a 20% discount on that for not pirating...
