I guess it comes down to a matter of "would those using the warez have bought the software in the first place?" There was several news items on this very topic a several months back. the general consensus was that you can't lose what you don't have. Many software companies admitted that they weren't losing much revenue because those who were using the warezz couldn't afford the software and/or would never have bought it at those prices anyhow. Sure there were several companies screaming about the loss of revenues. But I pesonally don't believe you lose what you will never have. A person witht eh money to spend on this software doesn't waste their time looking for warez. Out of curiosity today I tried to find a warez site with Poser pro pack, because I keep hearing how it is just all over the place and available, that it is the reason for this need for protection. Well, after over an hour I found only 3 downloads of poser and no downloads of ppp. Of course just to find those I was deluged with pop-ups and vote for me's and porn windows. Never did see an actual download file, just that they had it there.... somewhere. But it crashed my system.... So if the files were actually there, who knows. Maybe I don't know how to search for warez, but I ran it through Asta la vista and then through search engines. So either CL has been quite successful at shutting down hackers or it's just not as big a download as I've heard. There were tons of sites offering Bryce and Photoshop though, those downloads I did see. Still don't understand why these sites are allowed to remain operational...
