Not to mention the crummy rock music, and the bad jazz that was just repeats of other bad jazz going back to the 40's. They should not have done that to us... selling us crappy music, and promoting how good it was, creating hit after hit, duping us into buying even more crappy music... and that doesn't even beging to cover folk, international, and new age where the real crap is actually really crap.

Killing the industry? I wonder how is that happening with actors getting 4 mils per movie!!

if piracy ended tomorrow , no more punk or "devil music" only clean cut stuff would be available , no room for cutting edge material , tipper gore {thats al gore's wife, she introduced the parental advisory sticker , or settled for it , because she couldn't get people imprisoned for "devil music" ya know , anyone old enough to remember the dead kenedy and penis landscape , and all that} would be delighted

If the industry comes with an descent product i will buy it.
I have bought a lot of games that were 'great' at different sites. example: Kane and Lynch.
EA doesnt allow bad reviews about thier games.So who started the whole thing.People were getting sick and tired of it, to buy with huge prices the products they made and getting dissapointed, at least i was .
So now i download the piracy stuff,i give it a shot for a couple of hours then if i like it then i buy it.
Same a as XP i bought since SP2 came out.
I spent hunderds of euro's for games i dont play longer then 2 hours.Too expensive for me 25 euro's for an hour of frustration.

@Industry come with descent products and a good support and people will buy it.
Examples enough look around.
