>"Software piracy" does not exist. When someone copies a digital work, the original still exists unaltered. The only way software piracy could exist is if someone broke into a location and stole the only copy. And that doesn't happen too often.

Rick - I don't think you know the definition of "software piracy" .

The copyright infringement of software (often referred to as software piracy) refers to several practices which involve the unauthorized copying of computer software. Copyright infringement of this kind varies globally. Most countries have copyright laws which apply to software, but the degree of enforcement and compliance varies. In those countries, subject to many exceptions, it is a copyright violation to download, upload or otherwise distribute copyrighted material without authorization.

What you're talking about above is called theft.

>What people mean when they say "software piracy" is something related to personal greed and a presumed loss over an invisible monopolistic fortress they've erected around their product. This fortress exists to facilitate personal lusts and wants only, and is not a component of base abilities in the digital world as all digital work can be copied unendingly with zero loss of the source content.
