The term piracy isn't even accurate. Piracy infers stealing or counterfeiting a product FOR A PROFIT!!! I don't pirate movies and music. I download them. I don't pay a penny, and I don't earn a penny doing it. And if you're a real artist like myself, then you do what you do for the sake of doing it. Not to earn money.
Next time they complain about piracy 'hurting' artists in the industry, perhaps we can ask where the writers and and artists get their slice of the 10Billion dollar pie that the 'dying' industry is raking in year after year.
Even better, ask them to explain their logic behind suffering 200% of their gross in a Growth year to Piracy? That's nothing short of balls retarded.
so who here pirates paintings?

@H3xx99 mpaa.org defines it differently then you have. I like the bit about "real artist", you make a great point :D

This video is retarded. It doesn't make any arguments, it just shows a few numbers without even specifying sources.
