Even in regards to sophisticated computer users, people are a lot less likely to install an executable on their system than they are to play a media file... especially in an environment where the player's embedded in the page for you.

As installing a stolen game requires use of a peer-handled executable, I'm sure that the gaming market is, on a proportionate scale, less impacted by content theft than most other markets affected by torrents and the like.

It's still an interesting take, but their situation isn't quite analogous to ours, imho.
