Online piracy needs to be dealt with itself, because people are just wholesale stealing people's work and not paying for it. It's very hard to figure out a way to fix it.

Piracy has destroyed the domestic market.

Piracy is a huge, huge issue for all of these major content companies, and everybody has a different way of addressing it.

It's the big boys, the Googles of this world, that are already benefiting from piracy and not paying the artists a dime.

Many rogue sites exist to make a profit and others are enormously expensive to maintain. If they don't have the resources to continue stealing intellectual property, they'll wither away.

Give people what they want, when they want it, in the form they want it in, at a reasonable price, and they'll more likely pay for it rather than steal it. Well, some will still steal it, but I think we can take a bite out of piracy.

If you are extremely well known and have a very desirable product, then yes, you probably do suffer a bit from piracy, in the same way that if you make a lot of money, you pay more in taxes than if you don't make any money.

Megaupload is not responsible for the piracy problem. It's the old business model of Hollywood that is responsible for it, and they want to keep that model alive at any cost.

I think downloading is both saving and killing the music industry at the same time.

The amount of piracy is extraordinary. People don't realize how big it is.
