That is indeed the pirate's dilemma: how do I steal all my music, movies, and videogames while making sure Content, Inc. doesn't move to a business model where all the value is on their servers and you can, at best, rent access to it. It has already happened in China, and looking at the PC game sales charts in America it is pretty much complete there, too.

Oh, those weren't the parasites you were talking about? My bad.
