SOPA's Baby
#24
You're making it sound like piracy is this rampant thing everybody's doing and the artist's are coming out with no potential gain, which isn't the case at all.

As of now, console piracy has, and seemingly will remain, an extraordinarily niche phenomenon. The majority of consumers do not pirate, and the majority of pirates are likely to buy lots of other cool shit from the people they're pirating. So much cool shit that they run the fuck out of money and have to download it.

ETA: There are lots of bridge-building projects which would help the people a lot more than SOPA ever could. All of our bridges (at least around here) are built only for motorized vehicles. It would be nice to have some pedestrian bridges.

Edit Again: I realize this post was game-centric and I forget what set me on that path, though I know SOPA is about a lot more than games. Still, there isn't any evidence that piracy has hurt markets even remotely, and in fact a whole lot of evidence to support the idea that piracy spreads the awareness about a product and increases its sales.
