3) If you do not consider Piracy to be pure evil, can you explain what would be the good side of it? If not abused (which it sadly is 99% of the time), it can function as a free trial to make people consider content that can be a financial risk to pay full price for. Later, after confirming that the product would be worth the money, the "pirate" may pay full price for an actual copy to support the makers. If the product does not seem to be worth the money, the product will be deleted while the makers have lost nothing since you would not have risked buying the product anyway. Not sure if it counts, but piracy can also be used to create copies of things that you have paid for. I don't see anything inherently evil about that. |
Sadly, this is not how, like you said, most pirates pirate games. If it was like this 99% of the time instead of 1% I would be in full agreement that piracy is a pretty good feature.
