It is past time we redefined "piracy". The producers of Spaced realized that far from being harmful, "piracy" created a market for the the Spaced DVD in a country where it was officially never shown; except for a couple of showings on BBC America. If the producers of The IT Crowd would get around to releasing a DVD in the US, they would learn the same thing.
Meanwhile, the music industry's mafia division, the RIAA, has succeeded in raising the royalty fees charged internet radio stations so high that most of them may well close before the end of the month. Far from making money for the music industry, they have managed to kill off a valuable publicity machine.
Yes, but, I think you are failing to see the big picture.
You see, if allowed to continue, or, the Lord God Almighty forbid, encouraged, these Internet ... people, for lack of a better term, might come up with something ... new.
The RIAA and other organizations like them could never allow that!

Ah, YouTube. Making piracy a simpler matter by the day.

True. I forgot the danger posed by these so-called "innovators", or as I call them, "radical, anti-Luddite terrorists."
Heh ... "anti-Luddite" ... that's a tee shirt! Love it!
I knew you were in league with The Terrorists™!
The Terrorists™, of course is defined as anybody who opposes The Implant™, even though The Implant™ is doubleplusgood.
They are the reason the government can't raise our chocolate rations to 20 grams a week.
