Doom 3 piracy out of control
I'm still astounded that so many people have such little regard for intellectual property. I saw on GameSpot that Doom 3 piracy has easily spiraled into the millions of dollars of damage and the game doesn't even come out until tomorrow.
Is it just because I've worked in media my entire life, and as a programmer now, that I find this behaviour disgusting? I mean, did people ever consider that the work people did to create something entitled them to some kind of compensation?
I certainly realize that there are times when the price of something makes it not worth it to you, but when that's the case, don't buy it. Let the market dictate what something is worth, but don't steal it. I don't buy expensive cars because they're not worth it to me. I don't steal them either. It's sad that people don't see any difference.
