It provides access to the works of writers and artists and makes money by selling ads. Except that magazines pay the writers and artists. Google keeps all the revenues and makes Brin and Page billionaires. And their motto is “Do no evil”? In practice their motto is “Rip off copyright owners and keep the money for us.”

So, they vilify. Or Sue, or both. Well, lets toss this out there for you Ari. Say … the economy tanks in such a way or you gouge to a degree at the box office so that theater revenue sees a decline like say the CD.

This would be a strong signal from your market that what you are doing isnt working. Will you realize the consumer is ALWAYS right and give them what they want in a way that works for them or will you roll out the lawyers?

Think about this clearly. Because as of now, you have no clue what real pissed at your industry piracy is and I doubt very seriously that you want to find out.

I suggest you work with your clients to satisfy their customers before you all get handed your ass! You could very easily look back on the here and now as the good old days.
