Actually you do have a pretty good point there about the possibilities for abuse. What I think that they could do is have a 4-week "cooldown" period for the pirate character. If an outlaw's ship is blown up by a particular player, the player that shot the ship would need to wait 4 weeks before they could re-engage the player if they aren't already -5.0 below or criminally flagged. This could prevent such abuse.
There's actually a simpler way.
Base the payout on two things - the value of ship/implants destroyed and the SP of the character killed, with the former being the lion's share.
In this way the -10.00 Alt, in order to be worth anything at all will have to be a separate account trained up (or a purchased character) and there will be no ship value to someone who has to go buy the ship or pops someone in a noobship. In addition, some programatical stuff can be put in to negate payouts if the victim isn't actively fighting - which can still be got around but at least requires more time and effort to do.
In this way, the rewards for an unrelated character killing Mr. Pirate are significant if he's flying any kind of vessel at all. And if he's not he's going to be easy meat. However the rewards for me killing my alt are small, because all I'm getting is a percentage of the ship which I then have to replace. A losing proposition.

the economy will be adversely affected.
Good!
That is exactly what many of us are looking for. The Economy in EVE is helplessly skewed in favour of Highsec.
People go where the ISK is.
You should a lack of understanding of Economics.
What you say is true enough, on an individual level - but economies are not about individuals. For instance - why is Jita the place to go for trading (and for scamming for that matter)? Because it's where the ISK is, yes? It is, hopefully, where you can sell your goods for the best price and buy for the cheapest price.
But WHY is that true? Jita's no 'better' place than, say, Amarr or Rens. The money is better there because the people are there.
People are not in Highsec because the money is better there - although that is certainly true for missioners, traders and many manufacturers - they are there because the environment (specifically CONCORD) makes that a more profitable environment for those occupations.
Some perceived 'nerf' to the high sec economy will not change that reality and will not cause those people to move. The population will stay because it's safer and that's what they want. Any change sufficient to really, dramatically affect that will simply cause customer loss to CCP as the 'Carebears' go elsewhere and the entire community suffers as CCP has less resources to improve the game.
A buff to some other areas like low sec, coupled with changes which improve player ability to improve their security SOMEWHAT will entice some of them out - those who would probably eventually leave anyway.
It's somewhat Risk/vs Reward, but those things have to factor in some out of game affects (like an inability to fly in a PvP zone while watching kids etc.)

Hello sirs,
There seems to be slightly false understanding that there is no consequences for being under -5.0. Really flashy people cannot enter hi sec and they can be shot on sight in lo sec or hi sec. This is a serious drawback in general. Sure you can use alts for hauling stuff but it's still a big annoyance.
However, since there's no real gain for being flashy (except noobs fleeing in panic instead of owning your bs with an interceptor) and it's easy to get back "non-flashy" there's a problem there.

Here's my opinion to improve low sec:
Make all space from 0.1 to 0.8 low sec. Only 0.9 and 1.0 will be true high sec space.
Eve needs more danger. You should be in a pvp environment everywhere you go.

Are we going to see the CSM engaging more with the issues relevant to Lowsec?

doubt it, low sec really isn't important to enough people to justify attention from the csm if they want to get another free trip. empire and 0.0 has the most people, meaning the most votes.
