  1. "Why is a video from 10 years ago showing up at the top of my subscription feed?" "Wait, was Fireship around 10 years ago?"

  2. On the contrary, I doubt it's really that high. The losses to the content creators media-owning conglomerates is in terms of sales they didn't make or ads they didn't serve. So every season of The Office pirated isn't equivalent to the sale of a $20 DVD box set, because only a small fraction of users who downloaded the show would have paid for it otherwise. Plus, pirating has actually helped some pieces of entertainment by keeping interest alive or by demonstrating a market in an unserved area. Take, for example, Top Gear, whose worldwide success is openly acknowledged as due to piracy, and Dexter's Laboratory, which just this year got DVD release despite the show having ended years before many of the kids watching it today were even born.

  3.  @TheRanguna  Yes, I'm aware. But Kim Dotcom isn't a name I have heard in a loong time.
