My desktop computer has one 320g disk, two 2000g disks, one 2000g usb disk, and two 1000g usb disks. On my desk, I have a cup of usb sticks ranging from 1g to 32g. BF, I will fill grab a couple 32g sticks. I'm old enough to think that any one of these devices is massive and young enough to know this kind of storage is not expensive or uncommon.
I have heard that piracy has helped box office sales. We went back to the theaters to see phantom menace in 3d after seeing it in 2d and purchasing it on DVD. Avatar was awful, so people who saw it probably were not motivated to go to theaters. I know I would not have paid to see it had I previewed it.
I hate the term piracy. Come january, making a backup of a DVD I purchased will be considered piracy. I think we should distinguish between making unauthorized copies of purchased content, aquiring content without purchase, and profiting from the distribution of unauthorized content.
