Eradicating Piracy Impossible, Better to Accept It

Piracy, the act of illegally distributing copyrighted data without permission causes the film, music and entertainment industry to lose billion dollars of revenue and millions of job losses yearly. Pirated copies of software and games can be sold at a cheaper price attracting certain customers and affecting the original market price. Torrent software like Utorrent or bittorrent allow for pirates to share data to one another via peer to peer connection in contrast to downloading from servers. Peer to peer was popularized by Napster in sharing music a decade ago.
