The above statement I believe is true for over 2/3 of people in this country.

For music, I don't get piracy. I subscribe to Napster and get every song I want for like $15 month. It's not worth it to me to download illegally when I can get it free and legal and easy for a measly $15.

As for movies....you can rent movies for as little as .99 cents and can watch them on my regular TV. Why would I steal them?

People who download music illegally must be poor because the legal alternatives are sooooo cheap, it makes no sense.
has nothing to do with being and everything to do with being free. why the fuck would i even pay 25 cents for a song, when it is EASIER and FREE to grab the whole album in a matter of seconds? hell, i can grab an entire dvd rip on my new connection in like 8-12 minutes and be watching it before my fucking popcorn has popped. before the damn thing is even out of the theater!

i know this, the average internet user knows this now. i am surprised anyone here makes money being as 98% of gfy's webmasters are dealing in digital goods. get on with some tangible goods for fucks sakes or you're all going to be floating facedown soon enough...
