Without profits from sales how can the music and movie businesses afford to innovate?
How many of the sites giving access to the pirated material are based outside the US. And the profits from those sites going outside the US?
Profits pay for innovation. That's why China and India can afford to innovate. GG buys so much form these countries because it's cheap. The companies producing the product can put money in R & D.

profits don't pay for innovation
investment does
if you take the profits and pay lawyers to sue people that doesn't improve innovation one bit.
if you take the profits and give it to politicans to change the laws to make the technological changes illegal you don't improve innovation one bit.
In fact that the point of the article, big content should be spending THAT money on figuiring out how to make money WITH the new technology rather than fight it.
