Reply #5: And those who declare bankruptcy on a whim.

Which includes people who lack proper insurance and end up with a hundred thousand dollar bill, have tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in educational debt and can't get a job thanks to offshoring and bogus hiring requirements, and real irony cases such as Donald "Squirrel on the scalp" Trump.

(Enlightening article, if believed at face value, that somehow manages to feature "voluntary" and "forced" regarding bankruptcy in the same sentence no less, and quotes how he ultimately "it really wouldn't matter that much." Remember, at one time he got in debt for over $900 million (early 1990s).

Still, if corporate America believes the panacea to piracy is selling products at a lower price (other countries whose piracy rates are in the mid-70s to low-90s are getting some sweet deals by members of the BSA, MPAA, and RIAA); they should be global about it too. Or what the relevance of that is, except why are the same countries accepting so much from the same entities that are involved in this sort of thing...

I wonder when the Chinese will get credit cards to use. If movie studios think US sales have plateaued, and the US is seen as plateaued, credit card companies will want their share in "developing" nations as well.
