Things that should be done to break the piracy debate.

My solution is to wait for the market to self-destruct and better alternatives to be invented. Preferably something based on non-commercialism. I believe the greatest art will made by those who don't need to sell it to make a living.

On a sidenote, remember World of Goo? It had no copy protection whatsoever, but it did include a simple online component that let the designer say with some authority a few weeks after launch that 90% of the players had not paid for it. Then he was all "Whatevs it sold a lot anyway." I wouldn't mind if certain bigass corporations could show the same confidence as this lone starving artist.
