[QUOTE="nnms, post: 4754294, member: 83293"] Some may find this idea horrific and classify it as not something good piracy offers. I'm on the fence myself, but one of my players strongly advocates this position whenever the topic comes up. Piracy allows the customer to set the price of digital content. Say a company is selling PDFs of their stuff at $24 a pop. The customer decides that they don't like the price. As some state in a variety of threads, the most they'll pay for a PDF is $8. So they buy the PDF at $24. Then they head over to their file sharing thing and download two other PDFs that they are interested in. End result? $8 a PDF. The same approach can be used for music, television shows and the like. Pretty much any digital content. An example of a business that has embraced this is the music label magnatune.com. When you click to buy and album, the first thing that pops up is "How much do you want to pay?". [/QUOTE]
