In the eyes of most consumers gasoline is gasoline regardless of brand. Where and who they buy from is a matter of convenience in most cases. Gasoline is a bad example anyway, it is an oligopolic good-companies can't just jump into the gasoline refining business and shift supply.

That the point of the article
The bullshit you can't compete against free argument is based on the assumption that there is no possible differentiation
That you can make changes to the marketing message, or original broadcast quality to differentiate your legit content from the pirate one.
I have repeatedly pointed out that the "piracy" issue with movie cams is red herring because we have had auto scopic 3d technology for almost 17 years
We have had 6 spectrum color for more then 20 years.
We still don't have personal recorders capable of capturing that level yet
Piracy is nothing more then commodity competition
you could differentiate based on brand
orange juice (florida orange juice)
quality
sugar (100% pure sugar)
methodology/source
salt (sea salt)
or re-purpose
corn (ethanol)
