Zen - Wow has been pirated many, many times. Clone servers have been put up, allowing people to play their pirated copies 100% for free. You have to be incredibly naive to think the devs/publishers have a shot in hell at stoping piracy.

Miguel - I'll spare the attitude if you stop being lazy. All the information in the world at your finger tips and you want people to post sources on wide-spread information? Come on, dude.

It's not my job to back up your baseless claims for you.  Do it yourself.  I suppose next you'd like me to conduct an exhaustive google search for you to prove that most piracy is conducted by starving orphans in Uganda?

I didn't make any claims, yet I still provide THREE pieces of evidence that say you're just plain wrong.

Also, exhastive?  It took me two minutes tops to find evidence of four or more studies that contradict your claims.

But hell, who needs exhaustive - http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_sof_pir_rat-crime-software-piracy-rate

41% of all software worldwide is pirated, only 20% of software in the US is pirated.  Other rich countries are right down there at the bottom of the heap, too, generally dragging that worldwide number down to 40%.  So either A) the third world is pirating mountains of software or B) the the third world is pirating larger mountains of software.  You take your pick.

Oh, and piracy rates are only 69% in Uganda, not that huge of an offender at all.
