wow, 24 pages of corporate PR psyche training vs some legal understanding.
These threads are a waste of time. They never go anywhere and one side is all about spouting corporate words rather than expanding to a higher level of legal or legal philosophy understanding. There is far more too the simplicity of piracy than the non legal acquirement of the software. There economy impact, social, corporate, government. Many points have it's good and bad points.
FayeC does have a point. Yes Person P downloaded game X. This immediate effect is that the developer doesn't see any money from it(BTW nor dose buying used). The money "saved" will get spent elsewhere, but still spent. The biggest loss is that the P didn't contribute to the company. That's it.
Anyways I'm don't on this topic. It's pointless arguing. Above comments are a waste of time :P
guess I have time to waste.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
