so, whats the value of your "physical goods"?... only a small percentage of the price are for the actual material of let's say a jeans. you basically pay transport, the retailer and the brandname.oh and 1% for the chinese workers.
when buying a game you at least pay the actual "workers" like 50% of your price.

When I give you my jeans, can I use my jeans still? There's your value.

A good example with physical goods like clothing is knockoff merchandise/imitation goods. It's a big problem in large, urban US cities. There's lost value for the real manufacturer in the ability for consumers to acquire a fake NFL jersey from a black market dealer for $10-20 instead of the $60-80 it costs to buy a legal, officially licensed one. Women's purses/bags are also popular knockoff items.

That is also a wrong analogy. Because the pirated versions are far superior than the retail version in this day and age. By quality, the guys on the street would be selling a far better pair of jeans than the guys in the businesses.

Your last comment is utter BS. I have seen many street vendors who sell t-shirts that are 3 for 10 and they are super thin which means they won't keep you very warm I have a t-shirt i got from Kohl's more than 2 years ago and i have worn it at least ONCE a week since i bought it which is equivalent to 208+ weeks. The funny thing is that when i got the shirt I only paid 3$ since it was on their 90% off clearance rack. Also me + my family have gotten more sick from street vendor food than from any brick and mortar business.
