Where do you think the people who pay the creators get the money to pay them? From sales from the results of the last creators who worked for them.

ads, mostly.

From sales from the results of the last creators who worked for them.

so? they already got paid. i feel no remorse for pirating from a global megacorp.

And neither should you

edit: and - once again - if i couldn't pirate it, i wasn't going to buy it anyway. You can't even argue lost sales (which the creators never see).
