As for piracy - its much harder to pirate digitally distributed software than it is to pirate physical media. Much, much, MUCH harder. Its probably the "real" push behind digital distribution.

 

I disagree. Try and pirate a 200 Gig game, vs a 6 Gig DL.

Easy. A 200Gig game comes on a disc, which can be copied. A 6Gig (or any size) digital download can't be copied, and might even require internet access.

Additional size is no deterent for pirates at all. Lack of physical media or drives is.
