The effects of pirating games and software aren't 100% for the worse, no.

But in general, I think we'd be a lot better off without piracy.

And I can understand piracy in countries where the prices are ridiculous...but most pirates I talk to are in the US, Europe, Korea, etc, and there's really no personal excuse to pirate if you live in such a country.

Well if you live at or near the poverty line I could see it.

If you lived below the poverty line, you shouldn't reallybe buying computers capable of running all of the latest games. Gaming shouldn't be your priority.


Pirating isn't just about all the latest games.  You can pirate NES and Gensis games, all sorts of older games, all sorts of older computer games like the Age of Empires series or Civilization 3 etc. 

Also, who's job is it to tell people what they "should" be buying?
