exactly what, moron? for you idiots who cant figure out the concept
that piracy is financially harmful, lets take an example that any 3rd
grader can understand:

Current existing copies of D2 - 100 purchased, 200 pirated
Current income of Parallax - 100x$50=$5000, 200x$0=$0

now, what if there were NO pirated copies available? lets say that
only 10 ppl out of the 200 pirates would actually buy D2 if they
couldnt copy it.

Hypothetical copies of D2 - 110 purchased, 0 pirated
Hypothetical income of Parallax - 110x$50=$5500

so, even with just 5% of pirates actually willing to buy a copy,
Parallax still stands to gain money for each and every one. since the
other pirates didnt pay in the first place, it doesnt affect their
income. but those who would pay have increased their income. so what
point are you dumbasses trying to make? so what if not all pirates
would buy the software? it doesnt matter, as long as just ONE of them
will, then Parallax has lost money and therefore piracy causes
financial damage. DUHHHHH!!!
