If I paid for all my music my library would be a fraction of the size it is today, my tastes would be undeveloped and more heavily influenced by major media and social trends. It would be shittier, and this goes for everyone. You know efforts to combat piracy are fruitless and the internet isn't going anywhere so free is the future of media transfer. A hundred years from now when piracy is the norm and has been for generations people will be more exposed and the craft will be better for it. When the cost of exchanging knowledge and art lessens society benefits. This has always been the trend, piracy is just the next step.
