The problem with anti-piracy laws is that they're obsolete and unenforceable...... Which empire is going to have better research and happiness Ratings? The one where the average citizen can only afford to access 0.01% of the media?

If copyright were limited and reasonable then it wouldn't have to result in 99% of the population not having access. But simply not enforcing copyright because it is to hard to do is a bad solution. A reasonable copyright strictly enforced will incentivise inovation, creative production and cause a greater rate of research.
