Piracy could be partially regarded as a pricing problem. If your album is priced at $1000 and you sell 3 albums and get 1000 pirated downloads and you focus on the 1000 people who didn't pay you then you are focusing on the wrong problem.

The important thing even more so than what price would have inspired the 1000 to pay you is the 10,000 who didn't even consider your product and what price would have changed that decision.
