Are you saying that increasing prices of a good or service to the point where people don't want to pay for it anymore doesn't contribute to a rise in black market sales and distribution of the good or service?
I think you're mistaken.
You are right my argument was predicated on the price rise being justified by piracy not the cause of it. If they don't like ESPNs pricing model can't they license their content elsewhere?
