With the very greatest respect, Moejoe, it is not a "fabrication". It is entirely true to say that the commercial content which is currently available for unauthorised download would not have been released had there not been a commercial market for it, and that the
only reason that it can be downloaded is because it has been released for commercial sale. People who download it without paying for it are
only able to do so on the backs of those who
have paid for it. If nobody paid for that content, it would not exist.
You may well argue that this is an unsustainable economic model, but it is the model that exists at the present time, and it is an undeniable fact that the people who are popularly called "pirates" (I call them something different, as do you) are taking advantage of those who buy that content.
