Quote - ...When my last very popular item got torrented, I was watching my sales. I didn't see any downward trend in it's sales around the day it got pirated or within that week.  I expected to see at least a tiny drop off in sales, maybe 10-15% when it was pirated, but I didn't.

It's great to hear that your sales weren't affected! :D

I think the more products a merchant has in a store, the more susceptible he/she may be to the kind of thing I perviously mentioned; because the comments I mentioned most often pertained to products by creators who have been well-known for years, (many of which remain year after year in 'top' merchant lists).

I guess it's like that with anything: the more items one has in any area (music albums, gallery pics, etc,) the more often it will draw the eye of both the good and the bad.

LOL!! Sorry for laughing, but I got a real funny visual reading that. :p
