The money spent trying to stop piracy is a direct result of piracy. So you can take that money spent right off the bottom line and attribute it to piracy. The fact is people do receive a service without paying for it. All you have to do is find one person who has downloaded a movie instead of going to see it in the theaters to prove this. Let's be honest here and compare the number of people who download movies so they don't have to spend money to see it to those who download them to see if they want to spend money. We all know how that number looks.

That's overly simplistic. The vast majority of people have a certain belief system, but that doesn't mean they let it govern their lives. Most do believe in evolution. Most don't believe the Earth is 4000 years old. Is it contradictory? Of course, but so what. It doesn't matter if it is because it fills the gap for the only real question that matters for many people. What happens when you die.
