And there are questions about why people pirate? When you can be sued by Autodesk for exercising the doctrine of First Sale or have your entire software collection "stolen" by the company that sold it to you or have your system riotkitted by playing a CD, it doesn't really encourage people who would pay, to actually pay.
As I've said before, I don't pirate, but I completely understand why somebody who can afford to pay for content does choose to pirate instead.
I don't consider the online version much better. Google can destroy years of data and doesn't care if it is critical to your business or pictures of your baby's first smile. PayPal can turn off access to the funds you need to pay your employees for any reason they choose. Too bad, so sad...
