Another thing that would be greatly reduced: Piracy
Only if you acknowledge its existence. It would be comparable to saying that if there were no bible, there would be no God. God would exist no matter.
At least to me since I do not acknowledge the entity in either example.
I have been a part of lower and middle management in many companies so I can tell you how they think. I do not understand how they think, but I do now its this way.
A company has meetings each year to discuss the fiscal projections for the years sales. Every company I have ever worked at does this so I assume they ALL do it.
The example in this case would be, The Snarkpit Corporations projects sales in excess of 5 million dollars this year. In actuality, after all the bills are paid they make 4 million, free and clear. Their mentality? They lost 1 million dollars somehow. They do not see that they made 4 million, they can only see the shortness of the projected 1 million.
You cannot miss something you never had so how can you have lost 1 million dollars?
I really do not want to rehash the ins and outs of piracy because most of us are pretty well set in our belief system and discussing it further would be pointless.
But remember, those that made the piracy laws think exactly the same way as that corporate meeting I described.
