    One explanation for the enormous amount of software piracy which seems to 
go on is that the victim in any piracy is some faceless, probably large and 
assumed to be dishonest or malacious, company rather than an individual whom 
the theif might know or at least have seen.  The person from whom the software
is taken loses nothing - his or her copy is just as useful as it was before
the theft.
