What i don't like is when they claim how many millions/billions they are losing because of piracy, someone that downloaded a film just to see what it was like, might not have paid to watch it in the first place.
Don't get me wrong, Piracy is wrong but sometimes i think with music it is a good way to get your stuff heard and a lot of artists publically agree with that.

I for one will download an album that i wouldn't have ever brought just to see if i like it and if i do then i go out and buy it, if there wouldn't have been the ability to download it then i probably would have never even thought about buying it, so in some cases people are making extra money from it.
