Piracy not theft because its a copy..

[sega4life]

Piracy makes it hard for the Honest people to enjoy their products, and harder for them to afford them..

With Piracy devs have to make more advanced copy protected apps, thus making it harder to get games, media, applications to work on your unit.

If a company is selling less of something year after year they have to raise prices to meet the cost, also the cost to develop more advanced copy protection cost more..

but... it's the developers fault for not making a working version of the copy protection and making it harder for people to enjoy the products they buy..

Like Sony's PS2 Slim and how some games don't even play on the unit, and other games like Fallout 3, almost impossible to play on your PC if you have a CD/DvD burning software installed on your PC.
