I readily grant that there's a huge amount of selection bias to this, but from this remove, it's difficult not to read this as, "pirate all the software you please, we'll still end up as billionaires."
- walid 14y agoCan't agree more. I still have to see a software vendor out of business because of piracy. In fact, piracy is usually an indication of strong sales and lack of piracy speaks a lot of how interested people are in your software.
- slurgfest 14y agoRight, if a failed company (even one which failed because of piracy) had a letter like this, you wouldn't be reading it.
- icambron 14y agoMy only reservation on that line of argument is that, apparently, it "caused quite a stir at the time". But yes, the selection bias here is real enough.
