piracy isnt the big issue that the industry makes it out to be, it can definetly be a problem though.
Alot of developers have made statements inthe past that they dont worry about piracy and they themselves grew up pirating games, at the end o the day even with massive amounts of Wii and Ds piracy happening, they are still making nintendo and 3rd partys ALOT of money, the same for the PS1/2 inthe past, and so on.
There is a train of thought that shops selling second hand games is actually worse for the industry than piracy.
Someone who wants to buy a game will go into a shop and buy the s/h copy to save a few $, this isnt an additional sale and the only person that profits is the retailer. The average person downloading a game and playing it for a few hours before getting bored would have never entered the shop in the first place.
