Hope this helps.

CAVEAT: I am not condoning piracy, I am trying to help Paul understand that it is not the same as taking something physical from someone.
Shows truly how wrong you are. Piracy is stealing jobs, careers, money and the possibility of making the Internet the awesome tool it could be for commerce and the world.

How physical do you want it to be?

TheDoc I have never knowing used pirated programs, music or films. One of my programmers was and he was instantly dismissed and his hard drive was gone through with a fine tooth comb. You would not think it so good if people could steal your programs. Maybe I should, get a programmer here to adapt them and start distributing them for free. Just charge to adapt.

You can speak to Damian because he says it's nothing physical. Damian that would be cool wouldn't it as it's not physical.

Stick to card tricks.

I never said it would be easy to stop the pirates, but if it's not done we who do pay can expect to carry the leeches for ever. Ever thought without you leeches we would be getting it cheaper or better?

No it could never happen because you don't hurt sales.
