who said piracy was stealing? it is simple making a copy of somthing and giving them out. So if you were to buy a chair in real life and then look at the designs and make copies of it ( or try ) and give them out to your freinds, would you call that stealing??? Because thats how piracy works you buy somthing, copy it and hand it out to other people for a low or no cost. I think you are forgetting that this is a virtual worldIn my opinion, piracy is real but is used a as a scape goat by big publishers. The funny thing is, big publishers aren't hurt nearly as bad by piracy as a small publisher would be. In the end, if you put out sub par products, people won't pay full price for them, and in many cases won't pay for them at all.
I'm of the mindset that a large portion of the pirate community wouldn't actually pay for the games they steal if that was their only option. I may be wrong.
I think stealing is wrong, but I also think if these pubs/devs wanted to combat the piracy movement, they should really look internally first and ask themselves what they're doing wrong. So many games are released half broken, then they turn around and blame pirates for lost sales.
I'd love to see them put forth an effort to make their games more valuable while trying to combat piracy.
