How to beat piracy

Piracy seems to be a major headache for content 'owners'.
it is evident in their never ending quest to squelch their
'non-paying' customers.
the word 'pirate' is being touted so often, one might imagine
we are living in the dark ages of privateers. here be monsters!
in fact, none of this true. considering all p2p users 'pirates'
is a tactic used by media giants to marginalize and criminalize
otherwise law abiding, normative people. 'pirates' are those who
make thousands of duplicates in china and offer you Office '08 for
$29.99. millions of others, who just want to watch the latest 'Lost'
episodes, are simply engaging (freedom surfing) in a business
model yet to be exploited by said media giants.
