This is true, but there are many people who will always pirate no matter what. I know people who pirate everything from Photoshop and Windows to music and movies, not because they /can't/ pay, but because they simply don't want to.
- netcan 18y agoWhat would they do if pirating was impossible? Use Gimp or buy Photoshop?
- dmpayton 18y agoHypothetically speaking, both. Those that could afford it would buy it and grumble, those that can't would use Gimp. But this is reality, and the reality is that pirating is easy to do even with all the DRM/anti-piracy stuff that is in place.
- netcan 18y agoFor those that would buy, piracy is a net loss for the company. For those that would use open source, it's a net a loss. It's like the old saying: "Only thing worse then being talked about.." Only thing worse then being pirated is not being pirated.
