It''s a great balance.
It may even have an optimum, where the advertising effect of good content via piracy to normies offsets the lost income due to pirates, and results in the highest income.
The result of the most objective study ever performed on that question is likely to be a closely-guarded secret among content owners.

It's things like allowing DJs hassle-free access to high-quality samples, normies hear those songs or samples from them, and start playing them in Spotify/YouTube/SoundCloud thereby generating income, all of that probably has a more positive effect as long as the barrier to entry is high enough to keep normies out.

they also know that there are specialized law firms out there who can find and sue you

>>101440718
No they can't. They run a scam where they send threatening messages to your ISP (which your ISP has to forward to you by law) and the email will sometimes include a demand for money as an out-of-court settlement. If you make the mistake of engaging with them, you are basically admitting guilt, and sometimes very rarely they'll make an example out of those cases where dumb people incriminate themselves and sue them to strike fear into the hearts of pirates; that doesn't really happen before but it used to. Mostly they make money from people getting scared and paying the fine (which there is no actual legal obligation to pay).
They don't actually know you pirated. Your router could've been hacked and someone else is engaging in bittorrent traffic on your network. They have no way of proving it, they just rely on people not knowing that and getting scared.

Depends on the generation that raised them.
I'm one of the oldest Zoomers you can get and was raised by boomers. Had to fix stuff for my boomer parents, so quickly learned.
I find its the Zoomers brought up by Millenials in front of an ipad or just very little enrichment that tend to have zero tech literacy. They never had to troubleshoot anything in their lives thanks to modern design
>>
>>101440951
I'm a zennial (gen z born before 2000) raised by millennials, and I still learned tech literacy just naturally by using the internet and computers when I was 13. Computers actually required basic knowledge back then and if you had a soul then you couldn't avoid stuff like minecraft modding or playing around with tools like visual studio or debuggers, which naturally teaches tech skill. Also I can type 170 WPM because of runescape

>install a printer
Too be fair, printers are the work of the devil
>>
>>101441040
yeah, I bought a printer for the first time when I moved out thinking it'd be easy because I'm teck literate. I had to install a fucking phone app, which I did, and it didn't work. I called support and they said my specific router model is incompatible with the printer. I had to instead press an obscure combination and connect to a wireless access point broadcasted from the printer itself, then connect to a web gateway, which I have to visit anytime I want to print anything. The printing heads are misaligned and I can't calibrate them because it's a feature in the app.

>failed to teach them
Hate people like this. We live in a time when you can access information about pretty much anything. You don't need your dad to hold your dick and rub your ass to learn how to change the oil in your car. You can watch a video on YouTube from almost anywhere. Same with cooking, sewing, understanding file systems, managing money and pretty much any other life skill you desire to understand. This is an incredible advantage that earlier generations didn't have.
If you didn't have a relative or friend who would impart the knowledge to you, your choices were to pay for classes, if they existed in your area, or go to the library and hope they have a book on the subject and that the book was written well enough to communicate the skills clearly.
"Nobody taught me anything" is a faggy cope by lazy shitheads who spend more time looking for excuses for their shortcomings than the amount of time it would take to actually develop the skills they pretend are being hidden from them.
>>
>>101436682
I don't know about most zoomers, but my cousin refuses to torrent even though I have explained it in every detail and even offered him to help him.
