Well, I mean, I get what he's saying, I think. He's saying that someone is "paying" in the sense that "their profit margins aren't as much as they maybe possibly could have been". (But even that isn't self-evident because there's good anecdotal evidence that piracy can bring in MORE money as a form of advertising.)
But! Even if that is his point, he expresses himself so wrongly that I'm not really inclined to fix it for him. Say what you mean, mean what you say. Or at least try.
