That’s the problem with your view… it’s not theft, it’s a balance. We need piracy to suppress some of the greed.

And you are also looking at things I extremes when reality is always somewhere I between.

Aside from that, studies have shown piracy to be more of a positive than a negative and those who pirate also tend to spend more than those who don’t anyways.
