Okay, yes, piracy is illegal. So I can't condone it either. But it's funny how riled everyone gets when you suggest (based on the reality of the market as it exists today) that there is a place for "free" content in developing audiences. (See the commenter on Harper Studio's blog who very nicely explained how piracy brought manga to the US.) Piracy seems to be about passion and people wanting access to content. If we make content (e-, audio, and print) cheap, easy and good, then we can tap into that passion *and* increase our market. (I'm thinking about how Napster led to iTunes.) “I obviously can’t condone piracy.”
