That is like saying, its okay to steal two apples, if you buy two later. If a company sells an apple for two dollars and makes a dollar profit. Then buying two apples makes them a two dollar profit. You stole two apples but it only cost a dollar to produce each one. So in actuality the two dollars they made from you buying the apples, evens out with the cost of the two stolen apples.

In other words, its okay to steal two apples, since their not actually losing money in the long run. In fact you are now an apple lover, and you will buy apples all the time, increasing their profit. So if everyone stole a few apples, apples companies would make more money in the long run. I think most people can see the flaw in this argument. Most would probably object and say it is wrong to steal, even if the math did say the company actually benefits from it.

Any way I think its kind of silly. If a person who pirates musics or games, didn't pirate music or games they would buy them. You really expect me to believe that a person who downloads 100 songs a year, wouldn't buy even a single CD, if he couldn't download them? A person who downloads 30 games a year, wouldn't buy even a single game if he couldn't download them? Bullshit, of course they would buy cds and games.

Also if you upload a game, then its a moot point. If you upload it, you have no control over who downloads it, which means very well the person who downloads it, would have bought it but instead stole it because it was cheaper.
