I was reading of someone complaining about the raising monthly membership prices: wouldn't you raise the price of your cars if you bought and paid for 20 of them and 18 went stolen? Wouldn't you try to compensate your loss trying to sell the two cars left for a higher price? Don't you think that giving away less free content, we could lower the prices, having more customers and therefore making more money? We make the market, not the users. If we are unhappy, it's just our fault. If you don't like it, change it! My 2 cents

The analogies wont work. But the bottom line is still take care of your paying customers and dont punish them just because some people steal content. There are many reasonable things you can do that will keep losses to a minimum with no impact to your paying customers.
I'm talking basic stuff like blocking brute password attacks, totally blocking IPs from countries that you know will never pass a credit card scrub, etc.
