The copyright monopolists always defeat themselves with their little "deals" that nobody really cares about. They run their little profit maximization schemes with the full knowledge that consumers have no choice but accept it. The service they offer is always of such poor quality that nobody would be giving them the time of day were it not for the actual government-enforced monopolies that rob people of choice.

"Piracy" is the full realization of the potential of our computer and internet technologies. They will never, ever be able to compete it with it without legal backing.
