Great point. The goods pirated are mostly Western. That's money lost in taxes, profits and jobs.
The Internet if allowed to continue uncontrolled will kick out most people but those with something that can't be pirated or those who want to work for the least money. For those scared they might lose some free downloads, you might lose your job if there's no control.
