I realised that you can never legislate away from piracy. Laws can definitely help, but it doesn't take away the problem. The only way to solve the problem was to create a service that was better than piracy and at the same time compensates the music industry - that gave us Spotify.

Daniel Ek

The biggest problem almost all comics face is not piracy or demographics or any of that nonsense: it's obscurity.

Antony Johnston

In the long run, with profits from piracy greater than international finance mobilised to solve the problem, we can expect piracy to increase geographically and in sophistication.

Peter Middlebrook

The problem with ebook filesharing is simply one of scale. But I think the "piracy" problem is massively over-rated.

Charles Stross

I don't think it's fair to pinpoint Asia in terms of piracy. It's a worldwide problem. With 'The Expendables 3,' piracy extended everywhere, and over 10 percent of it was in the United States. So I don't want to put my hands over my eyes. It's a shame there is no DVD business in a lot of Asia, certainly China and India.

Jon Feltheimer

The U.S. government is saying that my website enabled piracy when the entire Internet is enabling piracy. Every ISP that connects people to the Internet is enabling piracy - Google is, YouTube is, everybody is.

Kim Dotcom

Piracy is not the problem, obscurity is.

Seth Godin

Noam Chomsky

Obscurity is a bigger problem for authors than piracy.

Tim O'Reilly

The solution for piracy is to redefine piracy. Make things possible for everyone, without being labelled it as a crime.

Peter Sunde

The real great news is, in the piracy capitals of the world, Netflix is winning. We are pushing down piracy in those markets by getting the access.

Ted Sarandos

Simply do something else and return to it later to find the problem wasn't a problem at all. Ruptures almost always lead to a stronger project.

Anne Carson

As for piracy, I love to be pirated. It is the greatest compliment an author can have. The wholesale piracy of Democracy was the single real triumph of my life. Anyone may steal what he likes from me.

Henry Adams

The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It's by giving those people a service that's better than what they're receiving from the pirates.
