If people want to "unite for piracy", maybe having a common stance on the subject wouldn't hurt...

Well, my statement was in regards to the general public including the 80 year old seniles who don't have a computer. If you look at the younger population, however, it will be much higher. I doubt that it is as high as Louis is making it seems, but the percentage of people who have pirated something at least once is unbelievably high

That's a good point but it's no excuse for piracy either.

The thing is, what would be an otherwise good response to such decrease in quality?

These company executives can care less about emails or letters written to them. The only thing that they listen to is money and so when people are finally getting them where it hurts, they're just trying stave off the inevitable rather than try to revamp the products they sell.

If you think that is a sound thing to say then I guess holding a shotgun to the head of a six years old girl and telling her she has five seconds to adapt or die is a good thing to do as well because the overall concept is the same.

Well....isn't that how a capitalistic system works? You either adapt and be a great company or you don't and you end up broke (well....from the bailouts happening recently, its probably more likely that you would receive a couple hundred billion dollars for not conducting business smartly...)

So basically they should die because of the progress they made and their own progress is at fault?

No, they're dieing because the whole world around them is progressing and they're desperately trying to cling on to old business strategies which do not work in the 21st century
