You guessed.. poorly. I buy shit - piracy represents a service problem most typically, and in many cases does not in any way represent a lost sale.
The obvious conclusion is that I'm not tricked into thinking that some one is somehow deprived just because you bought into the 'piracy' propaganda. Side note to consider; why is it called piracy? Would many of the arguments offered by people trying to maintain their dragons horde of IP and the monies from that IP be weakened if we called it what it was - downloading a copy?
Most people are like this - they will gladly buy the things they enjoy when they can afford to. The scale gets tipped when the cracked version works better than the official version, or when some one lacks the disposable income. Its just really hard to demonstrate harm here because there is no harm.
