I shall take your definition of induce and say that ALL piracy is therefore induced by the RIAA/MPAA by their usage of outdated business models and overpriced product
I didn't mean to pirate that Lady Gaga song! She induced me to because $15 a CD is too high!
"The likelihood that any AC works for one of the publishers is zero"
That's your opinion.
It's well known that companies hire shills to go around message boards trying to boost company image, quell dissent etc. Most do it better than you though, with your predictable usage of FUD. I bet the debating society had fun against you
Anyone who relies purely on a headline for context is an idiot. Fox News knows this. The UK Daily Mail is adept at spinning lies in the headline, but report the facts in the body.
All you FUDers never seem to read the article in which Mike clearly states that it is his opinion that they settled
Suggests those people might have a guilty conscience. I'd be surprised to find anyone under 40 who hasn't illegally downloaded content at some time. My Mum is 64 and does it daily. If she got one of these scam letters she'd pay up without question.

How are those windowed releases working for you now Hollywood?
"They don't have the rights to take 99% of Sony's code, add in a small amount of their own, and claim it to be legal."
And Sony has the right to remove functionality you thought you bought? Oh yes, of course they do, it's in their EULA, even if it does suck and piss people off.
In the old days, hardware was hardware. It didn't change, it didn't get bug fixes ture, but it didn't devolve. Today you have something wonderful which can be updated daily if need be, but that can also be used against people if the man so chooses

Actually, that's perfectly legal in the UK. Ask the Daily Mail, who constantly squeeze out libelous headlines only to turn it around in the article.

So it was right to the best of their knowledge, based on available evidence which was later found to be wrong.
