Piracy only works as long as some people pay for the software, that's were all the pirate logic is flawed...

If every consumer did like them, there wouldn't be any product on the market anymore because developers couldn't afford to develop them....

That is such a flawed argument. In fact I can say it for any argument.

"If everyone was gay the human race would be gone." "If everyonoe had an abortion then the human race would be gone" "If everyone smoked pot, nothing would get done" "If everyone was drunk, nothing would get all the time" etcc. etc. Your argument is completely flawed, just like it would be for any other issue out there. Oh yeah also don't forget how the economic system works in general "If everyone wanted their money at the same time we'd all be fucked."

Hate to break it to you, but none of that has come to pass.

So you're going to tell us that you're not counting on some people to pay for all that software you're so happy to tell us you get for free ?

 

I am asking you to realize just how many systems in the world exist where "if everyone did it" it would cause some very serious shit. Piracy and the doom of digital indsutries should probably b the least f your worries.

Also, neither the US nor the Netherlands could show that piracy actually cost developers anything. In fact they showed that piracy upped the money spent in related goods.

Is it one of those arguments like ' if gas was free I would have more money to spend on groceries ?'

 

Just wondering...
