Anyway, I hear what you're saying, but the market self corrects. People will start paying for more quality if the cheap stuff is truly crap, but when the quality is equal, people will pay for what is financially feasible to them.

Also, companies get to write off R&D expenditures, so the companies that innovate have financial incentives to do so beyond charging more to the customer.

I was referring to his attitude/mentality when saying that is what is wrong with the world today.
Piracy and theft is certainly not free market capitalism. The market "corrects" itself by companies being exposed for what they are. "Write off R&D expenditures"? Sorry, but no; it doesn't work that way.
