Not at all. You said you were confused about the article, I explained what the article meant. At no point did I say anything about fighting piracy.

Yes Paul, that is what research is. People go and ask people questions, people answer them.

Yes he did. That is my point. You asked me to explain why downloads don't equate to lost sales, I posted a link to just one of the many judges that has ruled that a download doesn't equal a lost sale. Well done for reading it.

Then rinse and repeat, plus pass the list on to other producers. For them to use.

That's a better route to get money from people. Has no effect whatsoever on piracy. Depends on your goal I guess.

It's had absolutely no impact on piracy, but has made people like Lightspeed some cash. As I said, depends on your goal.

So now you are trying to say the RIAA are as bad as pirates? Interesting.
