    Piracy… let the courts deal with it. It’s no business of a government.

    If companies want less piracy, they can choose to provide a better and more affordable product.

      If we only had a period or a branch when/where piracy was/is comparatively low so we could see what was done then to learn what compells people to pirate…

      Na, kidding, better fracture the market to drain consumers for as much money as possible and lobby lawmakers to make laws in favor of huge corporate license hoarders.
