I can't find it now, but there was that one text post that went something like "1. Copying a movie costs the studio money, 2. Download a movie, 3. Make 1000 copies, 4. Studio goes bankrupt"

I saw one where it went:

  • Publish a copyrighted work
  • Sell it for 10 bucks
  • Have a friend pirate it 100 million times
  • Declare bankruptcy
  • Have the friend delete his copies
  • You're a billionaire now
