Matt Gemmell on Piracy

Matt Gemmell, addressing the music and movie industries:

We’ll buy stuff if it’s convenient to do so, and if the price is reasonable. Any sensible business would thus have as its goal “make our stuff convenient to buy, and price it reasonably”. You, however, suffer from some kind of brain cancer where your goal becomes “find ways to force people to buy our stuff regardless of how inconvenient and extortionate it is”.

The whole piece is great and worth a read (language warning).
