People that says piracy has no cost are really blind.

Do you think the people currently working to fight it or busy trying to implement DRM instead of working on more game features are working for free ?


Botttom line is you will always find a lot of people advocating piracy isn't wrong because they do it and won't admit to do something wrong...

They are doing it because it gives them an advantage politially.

Tell you what pal.  Look up any of the research or current economic theory on piracy.  Then we can have this conversation.

The problem is we're argueing as someone who's done research on it (Me.) VS someone with an opinion.  (you.)

 

 Yes because it's a given fact that you know a lot more that about every member of the software industry...

Which by the way I am a member of.

The company I work for, which is no way a big one, has recovered over 3 million $ of unpaid royalties over the last 4 years, that's only the tip of the iceberg and represents more than 5% of our revenue...
