It's unfortunate that there's been so many studies on piracy (causes, effects, etc.) and yet creative industries (the music industry in particular) keep claiming profits are down and pirates don't buy any music/books/whatever. Guess what authors/songwriters/whatevers? We're living in a golden age as far as getting your stuff to market is concerned, if you're failing now you would have failed faster and harder in any previous era.

It's easy to see piracy and just go with the knee-jerk reaction of "there ought to be a law!", but the data says differently; legislating shouldn't be the go-to response to any perceived problem anyway.
