I could agree to that. If they are failing to make enough money because of pirates than they have a broken business model and need to adapt to the changing environment. I guess they should find more clever ways to get money from people. Such as micro transactions and super low cost digital downloads.

If the costs are low enough people would not even care to pirate because of the negligible costs to them. Obviously some people still will, but I think they would get more money out of people then they currently are.
