Your stance on piracy
For/against/neutral?
A serious thread to the industries it affects? If so, is it worth taking measures against services such as Megaupload in the name of curbing piracy?
An unavoidable part of the internet age, or simply a service problem?

Pretty much theft. That said, the Megaupload affair was a total disaster and I hope the authorities responsible end up with no small amount of egg on their face (or lacking jobs, preferably). Also, SOPA and PIPA were awful bills, but I lay the blame for their conception at the feet of those who pirate. You people are the problem those bills sought to solve. If your thievery didn't exist, there would be no legitimate cause for those bills to be proposed.
