You don't have to comment that "not every pirated sale is a lost sale" because that's pretty obvious. We knew that already. But even if theres only 1 lost sale for every 10 pirated games, that's still lost sales and means financial impact on someone.

Maybe you knew it, but Zucas and other people don't take it into account when they say that piracy is always theft under a broad definition of theft that also includes virtual losses.

IMO it's ridiculous enough to call something theft when nothing is being removed, but to go as far as to call something theft when it can have no impact at all, that's too much.

 

And if you could actually prove without a doubt that I said that or even think that, then I'd be humored but becuase you can't then that's just a false assumption.
