Nice bit of passive aggressive though.

Thanks!
Your mistake is simple: you tried to equate music piracy to someone ripping off my designs.
But pirates only
view the content, they don't use it to make money. Ripping off my designs is instead broadly analogous to sampling music without perimission and using it in a new track to sell - but that's illegal anyway!
No industry has the right to stand still and no company has a right to keep churning out shit and expecting people to keep paying for it. It's in the nature of the market that innovators - like iTunes - flourish while those who can't and won't grow - like HMV and the major record labels - wither and die.
That's just the way capitalism works. Innovate or die. Copyrights expire, IP dies with companies. If you stand still you get run over and good fucking riddance.
