And there's a proof for it - when some company in Russia - the country
where ALL games where traditionally pirated - put out the the low-priced
localized version of Heroes III (about $3, IIRC?) - NO ANY SINGLE pirated
copy was found on market (after the localized game release). Why? Because
for pirates was more profitable to sell legal copies - and the price was
right for the market.
Also, yet another point. Show me single shop in Israel where I can find a
freshly-reeased game without 3-4 monthes lag? When I wanted to play
Fallout 2, I looked for it in the shops. There wasn't any. So I went and
copied it. If someone doesn't want to sell me something and when I get
the said something from another source - he cries "Thief!" - to hell with
him. I couldn't care less.
