How much money do warez groups steal from movie companies/game companies anyway? Are there any estimates? Thousands? Millions?

"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier -
Millions of course. If you look at it, in many countries more than 50% of software used is warez. In other, it's more than 90%Solver, WePlayCiv Co-Administrator

Sure every thief thinks he's Robin Hood, doing a great service for the benefit of all mankind, but oftentimes the truth is much simpler. He's just a thief who at the moment has not yet been caught.
Since real people expend real time and real effort producing software, music, books and such, there can be no argument that you are acquiring a thing of value when you receive it. Doing so without permission is what we call stealing.Comment

You are fat scum living in rich country. Did you really see people who steal milk?Originally posted by Lefty Scaevola
The professional 'pirates' are just goddam lying cheating scumbag theives. If it was easier or more profitable for them to steal milk from babies, the crooked scum would be doing that. Only a fool would believe that most thieves give a damn about anyone or anuthing, but himself and what he can get for himself.money sqrt evil;

most of the pirates are overseas in asia, or in college dorms.
if they really wanted to shut piracy down, they'd have to go for a regime change in china, korea, taiwan, and southeast asia... and then turn dictatorial, while simultaneously busting down dorm rooms in college.B♭3Comment

What did he steal? What was destabilaze. All those who use Razor1911 warcraft (i'm downloading this now) would never buy legal just because they have no money. All those who are rich would not use warez edition just because they are rich enought to respect copyrights. I asked hundreds of people, both those who use warez and those who use licensed. Evrybody who use licensed say "I'll be keep buying real even if warez is widely available". Those who use warez say "Even if there was no warez i would not buy legal"Originally posted by faded glory

2Solver, you did not get the point. I mentioned Zhmot-20 to explain laws that are obeyed by majority just because these laws suitable in the real world.

Dictature may really prevent warez. But does Chinese government really want to stop piracy? China doesnt want money to be paid for software/movies and to be moved to USA.Originally posted by Q Cubed

It's proven by history, that dictature can prevent "illegal' information from being shared. If USA move Death Penalty for piracy and will kill few million people warez will be defeated.money sqrt evil;
