That's fine. My point was simply that "they won't sell this to me" is an absurd justification for simply taking it.


Agreed. But making the point that offering an alternative to piracy (a real alternative... the point is simplicity) will solve part of the problem and is good business sense. But it's change, so it's scary.

People waving fistfuls of cash in your face isn't a bad problem to have.

And, no, that won't stop piracy. Some people just don't want to pay for something if they can get it for free. But those people are not taking dollars away from your income statement: they never would have bought in the first place.
