Actually, this was already reported
here. But I agree that it's bad. Especially because they've never actually been able to prove that pirating matters, or that it
discourages innovation. Which makes me wonder why the entire world has to be turned into a police state in order to defend the rights of a few corporations.
IPRs exist to promote innovation, but I sincerely doubt that, once Gucci, Armani and Sony have stamped out all piracy, they will suddenly start churning out more and better products.
The key to improvement, oddly, seems to be the existence of competition, rather than a lack of piracy. And the fewer big corporations rule any given industry, the less innovation occurs.
