Software and physical goods are not the same thing, the loss of a "copy" of software doesn't make the original disappear too like stealing a physical item does.

Software and physical goods are not the same thing, the loss of a "copy" of software doesn't make the original disappear too like stealing a physical item does. Also, personal and company goods are different as well, since one uses them for profit and the other does not. In my company I assume most users will use the open source version, I assume a few will trickle into the commercial side. Of those, some might pirate, but I don't focus on those. I focus on making money and building a better product and providing value for paying customers. We've been around for over 7 years now, so it seems to be working too. But yes, I do lock my door. Mainly because I work from home, so it's also my office. But many people up here in Canada actually don't bother locking their doors, and society doesn't seem to be too badly off because of it :)
