skip to 20 mins into it
the family is at 21 mins but its worth watching the whole thing as the tech expert at the bbc is a bit of a fool

tbh, the "its not harming anyone" is true in a lot of cases, there a few people who download stuff,

1, those who'll download it regardless and never pay for anything
2, those who download stuff they think isn't worth the price
3, those who download to try

in 2 / 3 there are no lost sales so no harm done, people in number 1 don't make any sales so no losses there either

on the customers side, you buy a game/album/whatever, take it home, realise it's complete ***** and go to take it back and get a refund, you can't so you're stuck with something you don't want
