If not, we can expect to see legal channels raising their prices again to cover the losses caused by piracy.

And with the last paragraph the whole article loses its legitimacy as propaganda. I mean I should have expected as much considering the source, but I still wanted to see how well researched it was.

No, this is a case where people are rebelling against a broken system, that didn’t need to be broken in it’s mostly recovered state.

No, the general paying public shouldn’t shame pirates for their actions, they should shame the companies for their actions that have driven them to this. Companies aren’t your friends, they don’t care about you, they just want your money.

Clearly they're just looking for a scapegoat to justify yearly price hikes. If it were anything else, they might have realized that the increased revenue stream isn't actually going to the people involved in content production...
