Piracy was a completely different concept before the internet, because back in the day media pirates had to actually get their hands on original copies of the movies, albums and games they intended to bootleg.
But now you can just pluck media off the web and share, burn and sell it without having ever seen a physical copy of it, making the official sellers of the media feel like they're trying to sell apples in an apple orchard.
But try as hard as they might to cut down every tree and keep all the apples for themselves the official sellers can't stop the trees from growing... (Comic by JDrift01)
