Thats great, except in both of those "stealing" arguments, you are depriving someone of something tangeable by taking it away from them.
With piracy you havent taken anything away from anyone.
The argument that you have taken money away from the developers by pirating the game doesnt even hold, as you cant say with certainty that everyone who pirated the game would have purchased it.
Firefox Three for the Elven-kings under the sky, IE Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Netscape Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One Safari for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Apple where the Shadows lie. One Browser to rule them all, One Browser to find them, One Browser to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Apple where the Shadows lie.
Why? Incase he rises from the grave in zombie rage?
Even so i doubt hed goto all the effort of defying nature and causing zombie havoc for some unit conversion errors. Id of thought the whole light pollution issue would have ticked him off more.
Luckily there are apps for a jailbroken iphone that build on the functions of the default apps. iRealSMS is a brilliant messaging app for the iphone, of course it will never be avaliable on the appstore as it competes with their rubbish sms app. Its got real inboxes outboxes and sent messages templates drafts landscape typing.
This is why un-jailbroken iphones arent as good. If an apple official app sucks, well thats just too bad.
An Apple isnt infinatelty replicable within a short space of time. Every piece of software (Or the software categories) becomes a market within itself.
Stop using bad analogies. Spore isnt an apple, and the guy you are flaming is using sound business knowlege to make a valid point. You are using a bad analogy about apples and getting theft and copyright infringement mixed up.
Your post couldnt be more wrong if it claimed that the earth was flat.
Yeh but you have to appreciate where all this enormous amount of hardware, enormous amount of hardware goes. It doesnt just come on a truck you can dump things on, it has to come via a series of tubes. Oh... Wait.
Steam currently allows you to give a duplicate game you currently have away as a gift. I dont think it will be too much longer before it allows you to sell your game to another steam user. It would be far less risky than buying any other online game second hand as steam should be able to tell you the status of the account etc as they hold all the CD-Keys. Of course im sure it will take a comission in there somewhere, but Im not adverse to that they have to make money from the proccess.

Accidentally moderated redundant as apposed to insightful, posting to clear.
If you are going to work for the axis of evil as a receptionist, you'd think you'd have realised before that.
