Copyright Infringement is Like Starving a Giant Tamagotchi
The London News Review (yeah, I never heard of it either) has a good time looking at the inanity of some mediocre artist's fans discussing copyright infringement of her work (Music Piracy: How Rachel Stevens Fans are Fighting the Good Fight).
And this is why music piracy is such a danger to the true fan: because it utterly devalues their investment - and the fans realise this. Rachel's CD sales suffer, Rachel's none-too-robust career suffers, and she takes another half-step towards obscurity. And the death of Rachel's career will mean the wiping-out of every fan's investment. And they cannot allow that to happen.
Rachel Stevens is like a giant tamagotchi - fed by her fans, starved by the pirates. The more the pirates steal from her, the more the fans have to buy and buy and buy, until eventually their pocket money dries up, and Rachel dies. [emphasis in original]
