I resent that. I'm all legitimate. Sure I visit streaming adult sites from time to time but I go there mostly for the comments.

In all seriousness though I love piracy because a lot of the great services we have now are the result of innovation brought on by the need to compete with file sharing. ITunes and widespread adoption of MP3 Players, brought on by piracy. YouTube, originally hosted a lot of copywritten content which was found on bittorrent sites. It almost certainly lead to the creation of Hulu and probably had an impact on Netflix deciding to go digital.

Rhapsody, Pandora, Steam. Some of the best products and services we have today came from the need to compete with file sharing and the results have been spectacular. I hope these kids continue to "steal" stuff because if this continues theres no telling what else will develop.
