@monkeyking1969: Your data is based on your assumptions about how "affluent" someone you've never met before is. Also you're assuming that there is a 1:1 translation between a photocopy honor system and purchasing or pirating a game. It's not exactly scientific data dude. Say what you will about me and my brother just being awful awful thieves, the fact remains that I haven't pirated a game since I was capable of purchasing them, suggesting a direct relation between means and rate of piracy. I highly doubt there are a bunch of rich jerks out there pirating stuff just because they can. That doesn't make any sense and comes across as an attempt to make pirates seem worse than they actually are. Which is not to say I support pirates or that being poor justifies their actions, I already stated earlier in this thread that I think the whole situation is disgusting. However claiming "They do it for no reason simply because they can!" is just silly.
