I just want to comment on piracy and video games....

In my experience,  many users that i have encountered some that pirated in the
past and some that didn't.  I found one thing in common with all of them when i
t came to video games..

The fact is, no matter who you are, you play a game a bit, get tired of it, and
file it away.  One of the reasons some pirate games is because of this along 
if they are only going to use it for a little while.

It's not the same as an application which can be used for various things
and have many uses such as appleworks or a terminal program.


I tend to agree that if a piece of software is reasonably cheap 
(talking games here) say 10-20$, more would buy it and less would pirate it
as it is within their means and a reasonable price for the time it takes up.

well i've had my say.

Have a nice day.
