I would imagine that on a scale of 1 to 10. I would be consider a .25. It was cute that they sent me a letter and all. But honestly. I don't give a flip. I think there is a better chance of you cussing someone out here than me downloading enough music or movies to bother someone.
It used to be cool and fun to get around the stuff to get the movies or songs. But honestly there are cooler things to mess with in the underground world than piracy.

actually to be fair dane isn't fighting you as much as he's fighting the mentality that content is free I just need to go on the internet to find it. That's the issue, regardless of how many you download.
Now the reality is the industry is going to have to change with the times, but the truth is it will be extremely slow to do so. It's the nature of the beast.
Now on to the other point about but but it's just 1. Sure it is and the impact of you downloading one video is meaningless. But the impact of 1 million people each downloading 1 video....that starts to be real dollars and cents.... It's like voting. One vote is meaningless. 1 million votes is power.
