It was not my intention to imply negative things about people in the developing world. It indeed does make perfect sense to pirate in such conditions. In any case, I was not making a moral argument, more of a strategic one from the POV of a dev. I also made the comment mostly in reference to the West and to the demographics likely to pirate there, although I obviously should have made this more clear. >This leads me to believe piracy is fully a "problem" of accessibility, and I don't believe we gain anything from restricting access to people who literally cannot afford the product in the first place. I completely agree, and that is the point I wanted to make: there are many reasons not to obsess over piracy. Most people who do pirate will not be a lucrative market in any case, therefore little effort should be expended on anti-piracy measures. It is more lucrative to focus on the people likely to casually dump money on your product once you meet a certain standard of accessibility and quality.
