    Those companies are such a drag for human society because they are afraid of their bottom line. the Music Industry and Amazon also would have burned down the Library of Alexandria if they had deemed it worrisome to their profit.

      And theres still no proof that every download truly is a lost sale. It’s all just make believe.

        I think it’d be completely unrealistic to think that there are no lost sales…whether or not the amount they’re losing is actually meaningful would be a better question…

          I definitely understand this take but there are a lot of things that I would have never watched if I hadn’t torrented it. Many things I do want to see more of I pay for of course but a lot of it I would just never have viewed or listened to in the first place.

            It’s definitely somewhere in the middle. I agree there’s definitely a good number of cases where the person downloading also wouldn’t have considered it otherwise.
