How I see the online piracy argument.
I kind of imagine this situation as if my friend and I go to a park every once in awhile to exchange CD’s that we bought. Then a store is built right next to the park that sells the exact CD’s that we were trading and tries to pass a law saying we are no longer allowed to trade those CD’s and must buy from their store. There is starting to be a grey area here in borrowing physical media and media through the internet. It’s bothersome especially when online stores don’t even sell the music you would want to buy or maybe anime shows you would like to watch. Thus the result is downloading, since ironically it is even faster than searching through an online store for it.
