Why?
Can someone tell me what's wrong with artists and the distributors from protecting their copyrights?

This generation of entitled children leads to theft on a massive scale.
The more people like you are, the less everyone in the business makes. Even the talent is being paid less now due to massive piracy and tube sites.

What about games, porn, movies, software...
What today's generation thinks is just 1's and 0's being harmlessly traded for free on the internet, is actually property that has been created by artists to be sold. When people trade it, they don't realize there are usually hundreds of people involved in creating that digital property they are trading. Do you think many artists, programmers, pornographers, directors, actors, level builders, etc are for people trading their hard work, for free?
It might seem harmless to you guys, but really, it is theft and there are a lot of people hurting because of it.
It isn't big faceless corporations that get hurt in the long run, it's the employees of that company that will be axed first as profits drop.

pirating and copied stuff been around for a long time in asia. Look at their record sales compared to that of western artists. They just take it, because as they get more popular, more and more venues and other merchandise make them more. I owuld have never heard of some artists if not for downloading

Can you name some very large asian software / game / porno / music / movie companies?
Certainly massive piracy on a scale as you read about in asia HAS to hurt sales and cut deep into profits.

Do you suggest artists, developers, producers just stop trying to enforce copyright laws all together?
