most people pirate because they can, the tech is their and can be easily done.

It's quite easy in my opinion to stop or at least reduce piracy, just remove all technologies that facilitate piracy, such as DVD burners and the like, but of course people want something to use to back up their data, and this is where 2 formats would be best, take for example the following:-
-Have the blu-ray format for movies and games only, with only console and dedicated players on the market, no blu-day drives for PC's at all.
-for the PC market have only HD DVD format, no blu-ray drives at all.

yeah it a very drastic measure and one that is good on paper but probably not in practice, and yeah their will still be piracy of PC games, but it would at least be reduced because films and console games are on a format no supported by PC's.

the only problem with my idea is that everyone just wants 1 standard format for everything.
