Taking asside the legal aspect (as pirating is the only illegal one in the list... and it's morally wrong to do something illegal etc...).
I ask your personal opinion:
Which is moraly worse?
Lending : (doesn't affect PC as much, because of activation codes etc)
_ Developper sees no money after the first sale.
Second hand market (ebay and such): (doesn't affect PC as much, because of activation codes etc)
_ Developper sees no money after the first sale.
_ Customer is willing to spend a fraction of the product's price.
Pirating : (affects consoles less because of the need of mod chips or know how (psp))
_ Developper sees no money.
Renting : (doesn't affect PC as much, because of activation codes etc)
_ Developper sees no money after the first sale (is it a licence to rent?).
_ Customer is willing to spend a fraction of the product's price.
_ An other company makes a profit out of the game.
Second hand shops : (doesn't affect PC as much, because of activation codes etc)
_ Developper sees no money after the first sale.
_ Customer is willing to spend money for the product (here in France it's about 80% of the full price).
_ An other company makes a profit out of the game.
So what do you think is moraly worse? please add reasons if you have
obviously I ranked them as I posted them. (edit: renting having licenses, it should go up in the list)
