However lots of businesses go to the wall.
I feel that most people want to do the "right thing" and that they will support artists by going to concerts, buying t-shirts, etc etc.
However those same people are probably not going to every buy a £795 photo package to touch up red eyes.
Here's a question for you, if Photoshop were £99, would they sell more or less of it.
Easy right, how about this.
Would it be pirated less?
Spotify has probably shown the way, lots of people I know who had huge music collections don't any more, because they are happy paying a small amount to "borrow" music from spotify's music library.
Perhaps when we have the same for Film and books, this argument becomes mute..?
