The Pirate Bay must be blocked by UK ISPs, court rules

Makes you laugh...

If they didn't decide to whack up the costs of everything, then less people would pirate... Take games as an example ... People want the game as soon as it comes out. Yet, why should they pay £35-£40? Especially when you consider that in 3-4 months after release, it'll be available for half the price...

As an example, Saints Row 3. Released November 2011. Price at release was around £35-40 everywhere. Amazon release price £35:

As you can see, it's now on amazon for £18... Even a month after release was available for £20, then went back up... In 6 months, it's now half price or better...

If they made prices cheaper to begin with, less people (in my opinion) would pirate... Prime example:

Modern Warfare 3. Release November 2011. That was almost 6 months ago... Price at release most places was at least £35 again. Amazon release price appears to have £43:

Now, I bought this myself from Tesco, as I just needed to buy 2100 MS Points and the game for £42... I then proceeded to sell the points for £14, so effectively, I got the game for £28, which I was happy with. However, purchasing at the £35-£43, I was not happy with, so wouldn't have bought it.

I feel is these publishers/artists etc were not so greedy in the frist place, they would stand a better chance of selling more items and making the money... How often do you go in to the supermarkets and buy whatever pizza etc are on offer?
