Ok, so then I'll use Youtube as an example. The reason it became so popular was because it had TONS of copyrighted content on it in the beginning. I can remember back in my college days sitting and watching full episodes of South Park with my study group instead of doing homework. I could very easily have made the argument back then that Youtube was "built on piracy" (whatever that means).
