Re: Theft/Piracy
"then you have a high-price product that not-enough people will pay full price for. How long do the Studios last then?"
It wouldn't be high price as the fixed costs would be spread out amongst many more people (all those who used to steal). If the price still remained high then yes, some companies would go to the wall. BUT I put it to you that that wouldn't happen, other players would enter to the companies would alter their processed.
"There is even a case that, as with music, torrents INCREASE sales."
There really isn't, that's propaganda put about by those with a vested interest in keeping torrenting going; i.e. making money by helping to steal from others.
