Hypothetically, if you had to pay for every item you've pirated, how much do you estimate that would've costed? (At original price, no fines or anything like that)

This kind of thinking is what the mpaa and others want pirating framed as. Very very little of what’s pirated would have been paid for at all had it not been available. I’ve paid to see sequels for movies that have pirated and have bought books based on series I’ve downloaded that I never would have bothered to explore if I had to buy them originally.
