UUUUgh.
1) First offer.
Piracy has been attacking the ability of musicians to earn money for nearly ten years, pretty hardcore for the last five.
2) Liberty.
I have no liberty to stop someone taking the fruit of my labor without permission and without payment. Your loss of liberty is a fear, not yet proven. The musicians loss of liberty is here and present.
3) Future generations.
Past generations of consumers did very well while paying for their creative content.
I'm concerned about future generations of content creators. Future creative people.
