The Oatmeal illustrates why piracy is so successful

Piracy is a big problem. So much so that recent times on the web have become turbulent from national online strikes to combat legislation that impedes innovation and Internet freedoms in the name of protecting copyright laws, to the shut down of websites that contribute to piracy and many others closing their virtual doors in fear of what may happen to them.

Since the days of Naptser, Piracy has been an ongoing fight between the proverbial “good and evil.” What better way to illustrate this moral and legal fight than The Oatmeal, who is the king of illustrations showing just how easy it is to illegally pirate media on the web and hard it is to actually get media you are willing to pay for.
