Mike's worth reading but what he's saying really doesn't have much if anything to do with the piracy issue. He's contending that years of producing tons of content, both crappy and good, has left this huge pile of content, some of it orphaned that the pirates and surfers are filling up on and we're losing customers. Surfers and pirates tend to have good taste, what draws surfers to tube sites and torrents is quality content - reducing how much content is produced and distributed wouldn't make any difference to a Tube or torrent site or to surfers who use them. What is Mike's magic number for the quanity of content that should be produced and released yearly?

I know he comes from the DVD side of the business more than the web side and that side of the biz has contributed to its own ongoing demise. as we on the web side are now contributing to our own ongoing demise. the DVD side is just further into its death throes than us.
