Way to reduce Piracy

[tuxfan]

Yes, reducing the prices will reduce privacy, but won't stop it. I re-read the title of this thread. It says "reducing piracy" and not "stopping piracy".

Anyway, what I mean to say is that price is not the only factor that is responsible for piracy. There are many factors which will influence it. Price is just one of them, not the only reason. But a strong drive against piracy by software companies as well as government will surely reduce piracy. But because of Linux, M$ is not going too strong against individual users. If they do, piracy will reduce and also the number of windows users.

man we should abandon the whole system of money, as star trek people used to say, we should work for the betterment of the human race, if everything in the world was free, there would be no theives, no bank robbers, no pirates, the only reason people would work would be to better the human race, to evolve I reeeeeaaaallly like this idea .

but waht the developers will do?

 

[anusoni]

the developers will evolve, most open source programmers and code gurus program to challenge themselves, to go into the next generation of programming, well they'll do exactly just that ..

making it harder to crack only means more trouble for the paying customer(look at windows xp)

catching piraters also will not help as aslong there is a demand for pirated stuff piracy will continue.

thus only method cut the problem at the bud, reduce price.
