I think piracy can sometimes be a good thing.

When Napster first came out, sales of CDs went up 20% because people downloaded music, tried it, liked it and wen tout out and bought CDs. Napster was shut down and sales of CDs went down. That's stopping something that look bad, but was actually good.
