We're not talking FOOD here people or shelter or even lifesaving drugs. What's being debated is not a need but a want.
Warning..car analogy....
I can't afford a Porsche, but does that mean I have a right to take one?
If people stop buying something because it's too expensive, the maker either figures out how to make it cheaper or they go out of business. I'm not in love with the RIAA or MIAA because they're idiots who wasted time trying to shut down a perfectly good opportunity for years. TV Cable is now doing the same thing: Instead of realizing there is a market to see individual channels without all the crap ones, they're running around trying to shut down pirate signals.
But to turn around and blame the creator or those marketing the creation as being their fault that people are pirating is just BS. I mean lets just call it as it is. People want something for free, they justify it in their minds that it's not really stealing or hurting anyone, or that they deserve it, and they take it. Doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, from a developing nation or the richest one. I suspect a LOT of those practicing this are not the poorest people...after all they have a computer to run it on.
Steal or don't steal, but don't try to clean it up or blame the company you're taking it from.
