Do you understand that saying "Do you understand" is dismissive and insulting?
Bootlegging would not go out of business at all. If someone wants a Bart Simpson T-Shirt (going back a few years when such things were hot), are they going to the mall to buy it for the high official price (and the price has to be high to offset all the counterfitters), or from the guy down the block, or on the corner, or at the flea market, who can sell the same shirt of 1/3 the price?
And why bother paying for a digital good from the authentic source when you can get every new book, movie or song just as easily for free?
There is no right to a digital copy.
