Tell HN: HN badly needs an 'Aaardvark like' search.

For those that remember, Aardvark was a person to person search for finding things that could do not be put into search terms [1].

At this moment, I am looking for an article that I saw here. It was about piracy and it explained the several factors that determined if a person would pirate music. As I remember, they were was guilt, convenience, price. it was a pretty intelligent analysis.

Anyway, for almost an hour I have been searching but I do not know what term to use to bring out that article. However, using the description above, I am sure that there are some people on HN that would know what i am talking of, especially those that follow the topics of music, piracy etc (hello earbits!).

I wish there was a way I could ask the question and it would go directly to such people. I am sure i'm not the only one with this problem.

What do you guys think?

PS: If you know the article i'm referring to, please let me know.
