Didn't watch the video yet but I stumbled upon some news site that said that some companies are using piracy as indicators of how stuff will sell, since people are willing to take a risk and steal something it shows that people really want what ever it was they were selling.

That video really opened my eyes. I can see everything so clearly now. Universal truths have been revealed to me.















P.S. I will get you.

You *really* didn't watch the video.

But I think they are wrong. I think people are more likely to get a pirate copy of something they aren't sure is worth spending money on. Their mistake is assuming people consider piracy to be risky. For the average person, it isn't.

Pirating is risky! If you operate a torrenting site or similar (I can expand, but needless to say, I've been involved with torrent sites and have known people who have had their sites shut down... it's a little scary when it happens).

Has Mr. Astley worked in the music business? After taking a second look, most of his information seems to be incorrect.
