An awful lot of what's out there at the moment is lowest-common-denominator BULLSHIT. That's why it's failing.
If it's failing so badly, why are there people desperate to pirate it? The pirating only validates their views that they have a good product.
I, too, have no sympathy for people getting caught. If you don't like what the record/music industry is doing, boycott their product; don't pretend to dislike on one hand but take with another, go and support independent musicians etc.
