(a small bit of topic)
First of piracy is not ok its illigal.
That being said one really has to wonder about all the companys
wining about piracy when they can afford to pay an actor INSANE
amounts. I read somwhere that Johnny Depp was offered around 60m us dollars for the next pirates movie. Clearly the movie industry is making money still or they couldnt afford that.

Valve made a test on steam, lowering 1 games price to half.
They sold so much more copys that they still earned a lot of cash.

Big companys are so greedy that they cant se that lowering prices is the way to fight piracy. What normal person can afford to buy 10 Blue ray discs att full price a month or 2 games.
