With a little help from the pirates!

Sir, with respect to the music industries woes with copyright thieves you very correctly state that “Realistic pricing is a more effective weapon than lawyers – to repel pirates” (April 25). That said your conclusion also points to the importance pirates might have assisting consumers in achieving realistic prices, when confronted by those manmade monopolies known as copyrights.

Is FT on its way to take sides against Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson? My new tune: equality on copyright, April 11.
