Nintendo To Take On Piracy In 3-D

crimeandpunishment writes "Nintendo says when its new handheld game device with 3-D technology comes out, it will have beefed-up anti-piracy measures. For obvious reasons, the company is keeping tight-lipped on the specifics. Nintendo President Satoru Iwata says they're not only concerned about software piracy, but also a growing tolerance for it. He said, 'We fear a kind of thinking is become widespread that paying for software is meaningless.'"

    Yep. Piracy advocates like to holler "vote with your dollars." Well, the dollars have been voted with and Imagine Babysitter and Pony Lover DS won.

    I find it a gross corruption of the free market concept that someone is able to get away with selling a good with extortionate profit margins disproportionate to the amount of work involved.

    Right you are. That definitely sounds like the corruption of the free market. The free market should really operate on the theory of "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need." Only then would it truly be free.
