Make good stuff, then make it easy for people to buy it. There’s your anti-piracy plan. The big content companies are TERRIBLE at doing both of these things, so it’s no wonder they’re not doing so well in the current environment. And right now everyone’s fighting to control distribution channels, which is why I can’t watch Star Wars on Netflix or iTunes. It’s fine if you want to have that fight, but don’t yell and scream about how you’re losing business to piracy when your stuff isn’t even available in the box I have on top of my TV. A lot of us have figured out how to do this.
Jonathan Coulton writes a smart post about MegaUpload, SOPA/PROTECT-IP, Copyright, and being an artist amongst pirates. Grab a cup of coffee on this snowy/rainy Saturday and make this your morning read.
