Even more to support that piracy is not just about the money:

Are you trying to make the point that it's just about being a scum or am I missing something ?

Defrauding a charity out of some money ranks pretty low in my book......

So you think those people purposefully are not paying even 1 cent so they can steal 1 cen from a charity? Are you seriously kidding me?

Dude, I'm not the one that just made 20+ posts trying to explain how people pirate because they feel the software isn't worth the asking price...

 

You are the one that tried to explain that to us. And then you post data that totally invalidate your arguments, so where are you getting at ?

These statistics don't show anything that invalidates the fact that people don't think somehing is worth it.

As you can see the average paid for those is aron $8 and in the very initial post it's said that they would be near $80. That right there shows you that what developers feel entitled to is very wrong. Add to that the convenience and everything, on top of he price, and you get a pretty complete picture of pirates.
