Stuff about piracy.
 

While I've heard about the easier it is to pirate for a console the more likely for it to be more sucessful, I've never actually seen anything to back that up. I would love it if someone has any number on this at all (academic papers are fine with me too since I have access to most journals). It could just be a case that the more popular a console, the more likely it is to be hacked.

As for the whole steam/onle issue, how many people that pirate a game are actually that interested in playing online? Most (if not all) games that 'require' steam have ended up being able to be pirated, albeit only the single player game has been playable.
