It would be strange for someone to watch (or want to watch) a video about copyright law with a pirated copy (especially when there is a very reasonably priced alternative). Could you imagine what a corporate CFO would think of legal counsel that was using pirated video to teach their employees to abide by the copyright laws? Lots of software is available "for free" on Bit Torrent, yet corporations still seem to go and buy lots of it (as they should). I cover a bit about that in the video, of course.
On the flip side, there are always some people who wouldn't have paid and find a way to see it anyway. I hope they at least learn something, like it, and recommend it to someone more willing to abide by the license terms. Better yet, I hope they like my presentation so much they hire me as a speaker for one of their events...
