I understand all that but without the internet piracy would be an afterthought. I just feel that if what you do can lead to people losing alot of money why do it and if you do you really dont care. but aye some people dont wanna pay for stuff.

No it wouldn't as piracy has always existed. There is still a blackmarket of physical media. All starting back with Tape cassettes and VHS. Its was so easy to record a TV show onto a blank VHS, copy a VHS tape to another, copy music from the radio, copy music from cassette to cassette.

Piracy, theft, its human nature.

I was refering to gaming.

Still the same. There are dozens of illegal SNES cartridges everywhere. Even without the internet, which actually benefits police in finding people who make illegal copies and sells them, people would just make copies of the games and sell them at flea-markets like the old days.

snes? i mean know and back then it was different those illegal catridges were actually being sold werent they. anyway in this time period no one would pirate nearly as much if the internet was gone. I mean the hackers do it for free because of the luxary of the internet without that they would need to charge people for deliveries and such which wouldnt be wirth the effort. how exactly would they get it to all those people without the net?
