My iWrite brief will be focussing on whether or not piracy hurts the gaming industry - my argument is that while it may appear to be hurting the industry, it is not physically KILLING the industry.
In this brief I will be analysing blogs that portray both points of view (for and against) but primarily focussing on sites that are on the side that it does in fact hurt the industry in some form.
As I am not really one to make blog posts on a regular basis, this blog will likely consist of a single large post nearing the deadline of the brief.
Blogs I will be looking into and analysing:
