Totally agree. Piracy of games or music can not be stopped. |
No crime can be completely stopped. For example stopping a break in. You lock the door to your house and all of your windows. How hard is it to forcibly enter your house? I'd venture to say that the locks are a strong enough deterent for most. But an individual skilled at breaking in would likely have no problems finding an appropriate way/measure to get in and take what they want.
Just because you can't stop all crime doesn't mean you shouldn't try to stop crime. It's a cost benefit analysis. A college student would be fine relying on the locks on his door, windows because he doesn't have that many items to lose. A millionaire would likely have a security fence, cameras, security guard, and a home security system. It certainly costs more to have all these items but the risk of loss is much higher so they are willing to pay more to protect it. So in regards to piracy, a company may spend $200,000 searching the web stopping websites that illegally distribute and use severs for their games. If they sell another 10,000 copies of their game it may be worth it.
