actually I disagree, music sales pay for the loan their labels gave me to produce their albums, they dont make a cent of the albums till they at least go gold in terms of sales.

touring on the other hand, all profit goes to the band. So really pirate all the music you want, go see the bands live, let the music industry rot and go back to indie labels.

wtf are you chatting about, kid? go to the toy's R us website, you might be able to find some people with your level of sence in a convo

WOw cheers guys for all the responce! im happy that im not the only one on here who hate what people are doing!

to damn or ban "pirates" (copyright infringers) unfortunately won't have any effect - I can only hope, that some of these "pirates" buy the games they truly enjoyed (which is what I do with music) 

as long as it's possible people will do it

This is why Nintendo makes the most money. They go after casual gamers who don't even know what pirating is.

Microsoft and Sony are taking notes.

Pretty soon there will only be casual games.

Now, that's ironic!

Chinese, Indians and other countries, where people have average salary as 300-400 euro and where licensed games cost 70-80 euro should quit gaming.

Erm, well while that may be true to a certain degree, there's quite a bit of piracy going on with Wii, and with DS it's even worse. I don't know the situation in the other regions, but I know for a fact that piracy on DS is reaching insane levels in Europe. And those are mostly casuals instead of 'core' gamers, I see little kids and adults with R4 cards and the like (which are sold everywhere) more than I see them playing genuine games.

They don't care about it either, most of them don't even seem to realize it's wrong to do it, but instead see it as a really cool, normal and cheap way to get games.

Not everybody thinks piracy is wrong. It's like whaling. Some may believe the interests of society come before the interests of developers.

Why do people think piracy killed the PSP's software sales.

It seems more likely to me that PSP's hardware sales were greatly inflated by the ability to pirate.

To most people a PSP is just an inferior PS2.
