it's the industry itself that hurts their sales. Both Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails offered their music up for whatever people wanted to pay - or not pay - and was very successful. Instead of telling people "you have to do this only or else...." give them a choice and all of the sudden you will not be having the problems on the scale they are right now.

this will work for both the music and movie industries. it's hard to justify paying $18.00 for a cd where only half of it is any good or $10 (sometimes $15) to see a movie once, while being surrounded by a bunch of jacka__es who can't get off their phones or just won't shut up in general.

^^^Agreed. This is why I use iTunes to buy most of my music. I only have to buy the one or two songs that I actually like. This is what drove me away from CDs back in the day. Got tired of buying an entire CD for $15+ and only 3 or 4 songs turned out to be any good.

I feel that Jack Sparrow would be distraught over this topic, because on one hand he's anti-establishment and thusly he'd be against the pirate crackdown, but on the other hand he's dismayed knowing full well how his movies have been passed around on P2P Like wench on a ship at sea for a couple fortnights.

Sideshow should offer us that same choice.

Way to waste our resources on such trivial matter. Homeland Security should be doing something more important then stopping internet piracy. Since they haven't made any arrests, it's save to assume that the same people will be running a different site very soon.
