Well then, we're going to cut off your internet so that we can never effectively market anything we make to you ever again.
We'll gladly lose out on all the revenue you normally spend on corporate movies, tech, and content because we'd rather hyper fixate on the pennies of lost revenue that mp3 cost us, than ever worry about the macro economic conditions of the real people it comes from.
