You're completely missing the point, and what I've referenced In my above post.

Read this carefully:

Microsoft Office at $599.00 x 1000 = $599,000. That's over half a million In sales loss. Furthermore, the Motion Picture Studio lost over 6 Billion due to piracy Itself. A "few" people getting It for free? We're not talking about the guys who work at the local library downloading pirated material. The world's population Is 7 Billion, not just a "few" people.

Evidently, you have no Idea on the scale of how piracy operates and affects the developers. I fully support piracy, this post Is more so based on explaining (to you) the ramifications of venturing Into piracy.

It doesn't matter if they lose half a million dollars. They have BILLIONS of dollars dude.
