duh, thats why BMWs are $30,000 and software is $40. different level,
same concept.

so, if i would never BUY a BMW, then it makes no difference if i went
out and stole one? time to rethink the logic, pal! maybe they didnt
lose money in the sense of a sale, but they lost money in POTENTIAL
sales. meanwhile, the thief gets to use the product exactly the same
way as a person who PAID for it. is that fair? hell no. is that
morally correct? hell no.

well! no shit genius. conceptually its the exact same thing and THAT
is what we're talking about. what kind of moron thinks that going to
the store, stuffing a box in your bag and leaving is the same thing as
going to your friend's house and copying some disks? obviously there's
a difference.

this coming from an advocate for piracy of intellectual property? it
sounds to me that your income, ignorance, and selfishness needs a lot
of work.
