Piracy will increase due to the recession. PC and all the hand helds and consoles can be pirated. It is surprising DS and PSP games are still high priced their prices should be much lower and people may buy more portable games instead of pirating them. Only PS3 is pirate free and may be a reason why it has not sold as much in poorer regions which bought PS2, PS3s predecessor which was easy to play pirate games on.
It would cost too much money to police the entire world and fully eliminate piracy of all media forms be it music, video games, movies, etc.
Piracy is stealing but it is doing it through a non violent process downloading it from the internet instead of physically stealing the product.

 

So since no one's getting physically beaten up it is perfectly alright?  Also you're blaming the PS3's lower sales on the fact that it's piracy free?  Whaaaaaat??????  It's like saying I had sex with a hooker behind my wife's back instead of having an actual relationship behind her back so it makes it not as bad.  Cheating is cheating and stealing is stealing. By the way, I'm not married, but still...
