In the 90's people bought DVD's because it would have taken years to download them with their 33.6 modems. They didn't even have Divx codecs to compress the mpegs back then.
People didn't rip your websites because it would have taken months and they needed to use the phone occasionally.

It just sounds like tech has caught up with people's flawed ethics and morality. What if they knew there would be consequences for doing the wrong thing? Wouldn't that make them think twice before doing it?
