Must be my bad memory, and either way IP should be similar to other property - if the prices are (in your opinion) OTT you simply don't buy the thing until its' price drops to a level you like, you don't help yourself. Basic supply and demand.

I don't steal. We just continue to go without because we cannot afford the over bloated prices (even a 2006 game The Legend of Zelda has only just gone below £20 and is still £28 in most places). It is the claims of the various companies that XYZ are costing Millions in lost revenue through piracy. They are not. All of you who are paying OTT prices are covering this so called loss. Piracy does not equal loss of revenue, it just equals increased product awareness.
