I'd agree. I copied games in my youth when I couldn't afford them (back in the Apple II days) and that certainly did not result in any lost sales. Now that I can afford such things, I purchase them.

People should take a step back and relax a little. It's the lack of visibility on the high-street and mainstream games stores that likely harms independent publishers more (less chance of impulse purchases) and the fear of piracy is what engenders consumer-hostile monstrosities like StarForce.
