[MUD-Dev2] [Design] "Why Pirate Games" Article

[Michael Hartman]

I found this paragraph to be the most dead on and something the entire 
gaming industry needs to learn:

--------------------------------
DRM:

This was expected, but whereas many pirates who debate the issue online 
are often abusive and aggressive on the topic, most of the DRM 
complaints were reasonable and well put. People don't like DRM, we knew 
that, but the extent to which DRM is turning away people who have no 
other complaints is possibly misunderstood. If you wanted to change ONE 
thing to get more pirates to buy games, scrapping DRM is it. These 
gamers are the low hanging fruit of this whole debate.
