I don't understand what you are saying here? Are you saying that the bad economy justifies piracy? Or that I said that, Because i wasn't saying that. Also I wasn't trying to say that people pirate because of the bad economy. I was trying to say that content industries can't expect much growth if the overall economy isn't growing or if average purchasing power doesn't increase.
Young people will pirate. The problem is that industries focus too much on younger demographics. What they should be worried about is older consumers who buy less and less content because they increasingly are having to work more and still make less money, meaning they have less free time to consume and less discretionary income.
