Wow! What a topic. On one side, you have the rich self-righteous western kids (I call them rich even if they work at Wal-Mart) telling to the poor third world persons that if they pirate, they're making the big American/Japanese corporations lose money and some software engineers, 3d artists, etc. will lose their job.
Piracy in third world countries is as high as 90% and it's not surprising. They don't do the same maths that you do in America. They can't simply decide to stop eating at Subway or not go see a movie to spare money. They're poor. Poorer than we will ever be.
And if you think, they don't deserve to get for free what we buy for 50-60$, you should not forget that we're basically paying them nothing for pretty much every products that are made in a third world country.
How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...
