      You’re correct. Theft has nothing to do with the economy.

      Ummm theft, aka shrink, is very much a part of any business.

      Hiring theft prevention is an entire field of work around this very concept. How can you say theft has nothing to do with the economy when there is an entire industry around theft prevention…

      It doesn’t matter what they charge when everyone steals it for $0.

      You missed the part where people stop stealing if the price is reasonable. It’s the reason why pirating went way down when Netflix first came out. People are willing to pay, not be taken advantage of. Are you not reading these comments, people saying they will pirate if there is another hike? There is clearly a line, if they cross it then they lose customers.
