LightsideDarksider The latest version of Sony Vegas costs about $600. That seems way too steep for a software program. The latest version of Adobe After Effects (which I desperately want) costs $1000. One-thousand dollars. Not one dollar, not ten, not even one-hundred. ******** smackers. And people wonder why there is piracy. I have all those programs and I didn't spend a dollar on them. :B

LightsideDarksider Okay, I couldn't help but laugh and somewhat agree with this... http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs493.ash1/26942_373767614520_535489520_3461745_7786020_n.jpg The 'download movie' step is missing. I used to download fansubs; previews have nothing on how long that can take, especially if there aren't any seeds for a torrent. It's pretty accurate of something like Netflix streaming, though. LightsideDarksider All in all, you wanna stop piracy? Start giving us products with better quality, make them reasonably priced ($50 to $60 for a game is far from reasonable, imho), and absolutely NO DRM. You'll make a huge a** profit. I wish I could agree with this, but remember the Humble Indie Bundle? No DRM, you could choose the price, and people still pirated the thing. People will pirate regardless of what you do.

People are sheep that blindly follow and do whatever is popular.
We all know one if not more.
