I obviously can't speak for everyone here, but personally I have never engaged in piracy in the entirety of my gaming history, and nor do I intend to start now. Frankly, while companies claim pirates are putting a dent in their sales, it just isn't true. These people had no intention of buying the game in the first place, and thus said company hasn't actually lost a sale, they would not have had one to begin with.
I can understand their stance, and their desire to protect their property, but there should be limits. Since we're all so fond of analogies, if I were frisked each and every time I entered and left a store, I would not be shopping there again!
