Only 20% of software in US pirated, lowest % in the world.

Woo Twesterm with almost exactly the response I expected. Dude, it's the lowest in the world. Maybe you need to reevaluate what your definition of "stupid high" is. I can't even imagine what sorts of adjectives you'd use for the likes of Zimbabwe, Armenia, Georgia etc. with their 90%+ piracy rates.

 

10 people got killed in constuction site A because someone messed up and 100 people killed in contruction site B because someone made the same mistake.

Yes, many more people died in B but the amount that died in A is still stupid high.

I know that piracy is higher in the other areas but 20% is still a really high number.  Just because NA has the lowest number does not mean that the number is an acceptable amount.

 

Obviously 20% is not a really high number, it's a really low number.  It's as low as it gets, at least for the now.  If the recession ends, it'll drop, because for the most part piracy is related to the number of people who can afford the software they want.

Oh, and your example is terrible.  If a given type of accident could kill 10 or 100 people I'd be happy as can be that it was only ten.  Yeah, people dying isn't exacly a good outcome, but it's better than a lto more people dying any day of the week.
