Piracy isn't an issue because all my content is free and open woo hoo!

Its too much work to try to make money in a world where your work can be copied with a single mouse click.

As for those number, id be surprised if it wasn't more than 50% And they probably went to actual studios, not the guy in his bedroom {read: most people on forums like these} If they counted all the joe's and bob's on the internet then it will certainly be much higher. You can't ban or prevent piracy. Ever.

Ontop of all that, piracy is a civil case. Not criminal. The worst that can happen is being sued. And frankly, if someone is pirating software, they probably don't have money to begin with, so good luck suing someone.

Yes, It is. Do you know what the scene is? In order to get you have to give. Syncroft stuff is pretty hard to dismantle. So its less likely you will find it on your local family friendly distributor.

Edit: Actually it *is* available at your local family distributor.

You don't know!

Anyways, software copying won't go away. And give the choice between 5c apples and free apples,most will want the free apples. And with the way companies are doing now [read: spore] many who would have otherwise paid for something don't want the inconvenience of the digital restrictions management software. So they opt for the "lite" version.

Its interesting how this site equates copying 1's and 0's to the act of boarding a vessel murdering and raping its crew, men and women,, and stealing their physical goods.

who the fuck cares about piracy, money, or programmers anyway, its all about simplicity! people will choose the easiest way so if the companys start thinking how we can buy their stuff easily people will do it. meanwhile let them fucking loose money, companys not willing to change deserves it imo. There are some companies that do it right though, Proppelerhead is one of them, I will always buy their Reason upgrades just beacuse its so fucking easy and good. EDM music also where willing to change and I buy EDM from mp3-portals but when it comes to POP or Rock? Fuck it let them loose it, their not working anyway their just trying to live for free.
