Don't be stupid.  If they pirate it because of no LAN then they don't want it ENOUGH TO PAY FOR IT.  At least not when piracy is an option.  Assuming they were telling the truth about buying it in the first place, the value was enough with LAN that they would choose to pay for it even though piracy was an option, but not without LAN.

[edit:  "It depends on the context of the situation, the reasoning of both parties' actions and the results."  Lacking any sort of explicit protest, the result of a boycott and simply not buying a product is exactly the same.  You've said so yourself if I'm not mistaken.  Thus, the difference you're talking about is entirely within the possible boycotter's mind.  You are making assertions about other people's thoughts with no evidence.  How am I wrong?] 

Not sure I follow the logical reasonning there by the way.

ppls saying no lan = pirate instead of buy are basically saying :

I would purchase a Lexus because it has all those cool features but I would steal a camri because it doesn't have them ......

Typically people steal the better stuff and purchase the cheaper more common one :P

PS : and no piracy is not an option. Stop acting like pirates have a moral code of conduct and only pirate stuff that is not worth purchasing, that's like the lamest excuse for piracy. People pirate because there are so many people doing it they think they can get away with it and will never get caught......

That's because it's a lot of effort and risk to steal stuff, so you should go for the good stuff.  Piracy is easy. 

As for your PS, you didn't understand me at all.  I meant it's an option as in "it will be possible to do".  Not that it's okay.
