Both make money. If the second option didn't, as you disingenuously imply, they wouldn't be trying to stop the piracy.

That implies a rational business. Rationally, new content ends up on the internet, unencrypted, within minutes of air, and all the whackamole in the world doesn't change that.

All the anti-piracy methods practiced by major content providers is inherently irrational.

[Fargren]

Not all of them. The ones that convince people that piracy is immoral may actually get some people to buy content.

That argument is asinine. Murder happens even though we outlaw it and enforce the law. That doesn't make the law ineffectual or "irrational".

[Karunamon]

...Please try to understand how "asinine" a comparison between copyright infringement and murder is.

Or maybe you should understand the point of the comparison. If it truly makes you feel better, pretend I said speeding.
