Conclusion

Copyright is necessary but it should not go unquestioned because, as the above has shown, piracy leads to better understanding of market behaviour, more innovation and maintains the long-term view for creative industries.

Attitudes and behaviours may not take piracy with such heavy weight due to a culture driven by consumer needs. Sometimes ethics aren’t even associated with pirate activity. Piracy has easily taken a stronghold in digital culture, and it has brought about benefits for creative industries.

Piracy will continue to forever challenge the creative industries in new and interesting ways. It will be a testing ground for new ideas and interaction. The law has labelled piracy as a pesky problem. Those companies with a more intelligent lens will see it as opportunity, because piracy is good for business.
