About this DRM I will always rember the 90ies situation. During my childhood (the floppydisk age) we were always told PC software is so expensive, because they calculate that for every sale, 10 people pirate it. Then came the CDROM, and for a few years burnable CDROMs were not at sight at all, so computer piracy almost stopped effectively. Did prices drop? No. Assumed they actually had more sales (which in hypothesis of this thread might have as well not been) did they lower the price, because piracy was stopped? Not all, if they made more sales they greedly filled it all in their pockets.
