The question no one asks is why are there Pirate downloads in the first place? Could it be a reaction of the people reflecting the mindset a of corporate culture that only values the bottom line. A mindset that disregards art,quality and real creativity just to appeal to the lowest common denominator? So if you foster a culture that is disposable for at least two generations, can you really blame the kids for not respecting what something is worth? If you try to gouge people of their own culture can you blame your audience to try to gouge YOU! I have not heard even a single peep from any media or studio head about the personal responsibility that what they created is a mirror of their own distortion. I believe that most people want to play fair and if given the opportunity will value art. But it has to be a co-creation between the gate keepers and the audience. And the artist in the middle has to be revered as the myth makers and story tellers they are, and not as a pawn to pocket more filthy lucre!
