Haha. Yeah.
Given that the 17 year olds that are using pirated C4D, for instance, would NEVER pay for it, it's not as though the software company has lost any sales there.
Tucan, I think the CIA (or NSA rather) is busy analyzing everyone's email and banking transactions in order to to determine who is financing international terrorism and plotting to fly airplanes into skyscrapers. I doubt they give a flying F about software pirates, except possibly maybe to hire the very best ones to assist them in cracking encryption. They don't need CISPA to pass for that because the NSA is already doing it.
Yeah, I don't think software pirates had much to do with Lehman Brothers collapse or subprime mortgages.
But maybe we can blame them for the Eurodebt crisis. ;)
