The ability to change features, prices, and availability of things you've already paid for is a powerful temptation to corporations.

The bottom line is make not pirating more convenient and cheaper than pirating and I'll stop doing it.

How do you make it cheaper than pirating?

    I have to pay for and setup hardware to store and distribute media I pirate which costs money and time but I guess I didn't really mean it had to be more convenient AND cheaper just that if there was a service that beat piracy on those two points combined I would use it. Spotify for instance has pretty much all the music I would want so I haven't downloaded any for a few years.
