Anyone interested in a Pirate Party?

Very interested in the issues.
My own opinion is that for me personally, copying something illegally but for my personal use INCREASES the chances of me buying the item when I come across it, or even searching for it to buy. If I don't copy it, and therefore don't come across it in my possession every now and again, I forget about it, and then I will never buy it. If I do view/listen to a copied version, it will either
a) remind me that I really love it, so I go and buy it
b) grow on me until I do love it, and then a)
c) make me realise that I don't really like or need it, in which case I will destroy my copy.
