This is certainly interesting but I agree that most pirates won't purchase anyway. When I was younger I pirated EVERYTHING. I downloaded music, pc/console games (modded every console I ever could), movies, software. There was no way I could afford to buy all these things at the time and neither could my parents. Now I have a nice paying job. I buy all my games. I pay for software. A few days ago an artist I like released an album on iTunes and other sites for free. I paid the $9 for it. I'm not saying that pirating because you don't have the means to purchase something is right, but I am saying it happens.
