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?

I'm for it in as, it's extremely hard to stop people pirating anything. However, I generally buy games via a retail chain, Steam or 2nd hand shops. Otherwise, I try to find stuff on youtube. If I can't do that, I generally buy the media I'm after. But if someone offered me a pirated copy of something I wanted to watch but hadn't got, then I'd try it. An example of this is the Game of Thrones TV series - extremely hard to find free legit streaming, and I don't have the money to buy a subscription to it; I don't even watch much TV unless it's on a DVD or Amazon's lovefilm
