what the market will bear...
as illegal as they are, pirated disks are a direct competitor to the legal ones. if they are such a danger, then lowering prices will reduce the demand for the competitor. while this solution might not appeal to the "hang 'em high" theorists, it does have more practical affect. it costs the companies less. it costs the taxpayer less. it actually hurts the pirates where it counts.
i'm not syaing stop enforcement... but there needs to be a balance of efforts. enforcement on the people reapign the bigget profits, illegaly AND use price reduction to drive the smaller pirates out of business.
