Well, aside from conjuring up an entertaining mental image of an old dalek shaking his plunger and yelling "kids these days", that is not a very constructive argument, nor do I think it is accurate (as if only people under 40 consume pirated content!). The current generation of these supposedly greedy and amoral kids was raised by your generation. And somehow I do not think homo sapiens has changed that much in a mere generation - it is the content distribution method that has changed.

I think you and I will never see eye to eye on this topic, so I will respectfully bow out.
