So... they're admitting that they can't end software piracy?

Did they ever claim that they were going to end it? Completely?

Their goal is not to stop piracy. Their goal is to lower the number of people pirating the games. If they can keep people from cracking the game for a week, that's a week's worth of sales they gain. (So their thinking goes) If they can keep the game from being cracked for a month, that's even more sales. And the more they sell, the less people playing pirated games. Therefore, lower piracy rates.

The fact that they're shooting themselves in the foot hasn't dawned on them yet.
