I made several posts earlier that debunk your arguments in your last post. However, I would rather go back to playing my Mario 64 that I bought used then continue this debate. Anyway, I think we established that piracy is illegal like skipping the doctor bill is illegal. We already established that buying used product does not harm the developer as much as piracy, that the developers do profit from the used market in the long run.

Anything that is left is morals, which is impossible to debate reasonably. I wish that the used console market would be like the PC market where I can buy an older game from the manufacturer at a reduced price. Kinda an argument for the PC market.

Must have missed your post because I really don't see anything rebunking any argument. Piracy on he whole is more damaging, however one pirate = 1 used game buyer when it comes down to it. You play the game without the developer seeing any money. Just because you paid for it doesn't mean it's different than piracy as far as the developer is concerned.
