Filesharing will only result in a steady loss of new things to share, because no one will see the point in creating something that will get them nothing. The only things left will be old content and absolute junk. You're welcome to it.

Creators will create even at pain of death, the whole internet is a place where creation flourishes, and I find it disturbing that the only point you see in creating is for monetary benefit. Your statement also belies a fundamental misunderstanding of file sharing and what it is. File-sharers buy plenty of stuff, arguably more than non-file sharers. And there are and will be ways to monetize 'free'. Just because you don't have to pay, doesn't mean you won't (the recent indie games bundle proved that, and also, bonus we got a lot of those games open-sourced).
I don't know what to say to you or any of the other sky-is-falling-because-of sharing people on here. There IS no way to convince you. Not with logic, not with facts, not with empirical evidence. You and the others continue to purposefully spread misinformation about subjects not a single one of you has any real grasp upon. It's actually quite embarrassing how many of you are out of touch with what's happening, but it no longer angers me.
We won.
