Someone else goes in, and buys a pair, but a month later sees a charge for another pair he didn't ask for or want. He is pissed and never goes to the mall.

Someone else walks past the glasses store and they have more free glasses, all he has to do is read this flyer. But the flyer disconnects him from the store, reconnects him to a premium store that costs 1.50 a minute to simply stand out side. He gets a bill in a month for 850 bucks, and didn't even get any glasses. He doesn't go back either.

Someone else really wants some nice glasses, sees a beautiful store front, goes in and buys the designer glasses, only to find out when he got home they are a POS, and don't do what he was told they do. He doesn't go back.

It's so fucking easy to blame piracy, which has been in existence since the dawn of time, on the fact that as an industry we've been fucking over our customers for the last 15 years and finally they have gotten wise.

Music industry faces same piracy problems, they are growing legal digital downloads.
Movie industry faces same piracy problems, they are growing legal digital downloads.
Software industry faces same piracy problems, they are growing legal digital downloads.
Porn industry faces same piracy problems, we cry like bitches and blame Fabian.
