Why piracy is abundant

Because of greed from the software providers, they price it high and that leads to piracy. It is a chicken and egg problem.

With a population of 5 billion people on earth, if you sell your software for $10 and everybody buys it, it is 50 billion income. But if you price it at $1000, most people cannot afford it and it becomes useless, because nobody is skill at that software, it becomes a barrier to entry.

CEOs and CFOs of Software companies, never ever thought of this point. The more they protect, the more they lose. Companies would never want to use illegal software. Because of legal implications. But for individuals – getting a new software to play means gaining knowledge – on that software and it becomes a selling point later for the Software provider, it is like a free walking salesman.

It is totaly greed that all these software companies that doing all these things. And it is just greed for a short term.

This reminds me of some US people discussing video piracy on their blog some years back. Basically, it is piracy. Through unlawful means, you get material which should have costs you a lot more.

When you get caught, you ‘walk the plank’ like pirates of old or get to hang from the ship’s mast.
