Will anything stop piracy?

No I don't, but my brother does and yes it's because it's much cheaper. The whole idea of charging so much to make up for those that will steal it, is a bit ridiculous. All they are doing is charging their honest customers more. I don't know what a solution would be to stop piracy, but raising prices isn't it. IMO that just gives more people reason to steal or by a cheaper pirated copy. Maybe I just have an odd view on it, but that's my opinion anyway.

I believe that piracty is stealing. The quality is low even if the price might be cheaper. I don't buy pirated copies but I have downloaded from the internet. Lowering the prices of the original CD's and Dvd's will help in cutting piracy down.

Well, I seem to be having trouble posting my response. It's really annoying! Anyway, I don't think it'll ever stop. Or certainly not any time soon, anyway. Someone will always find a way to cr@ck programs, movies, etc.

i buy that cheap copy once but it not worth it and then on i am use to buy only origna copy of anything i need if i have no money then i will not buy and we the people can stop piracy only we when we stop to buy cheap copy then and then that will end i request to you to stop buying any pirated copy from now on you think what different it would make but if you want to change the world then start from you

I think nothing can stop piracy

Piracy can only be stopped by consumer's own actions. If all of us make it a point not to buy pirated items and follow that religiously, I don't see any reason for the businesses involved in pirated items to flourish. Whom would they sell their items to, if they do not find any buyers for that. It cannot be stopped by any passing any law or act. The laws definitely serve as a guiding principle but they are useless without people's support.

yes it cheap but in bad quality. I usually use an original one
