Obviously they were thinking that no one would notice if they were only pirating small programs.

he's saying that the CD's aren't even worth that much...however with the pirated software like adobes products and things that run a couple hundred dollars each it, then yeah it would hit upwards of 3.2mil

yah but they are doing it by estimated "loss" to the companies you are thinking about it all wrong even tough you would get it for free, adobe photoshop cs is worth a couple C-notes.

that and the fact that not everyone knows how and where to get these things...some CD's may be $5 (latin music artists) photoshop could still be $20 for someone who has no clue on where to get it on the internet
Besides this isn't about street price...like matt essentially said and tyler implied... 3.2million is pretty cheap considering some of those programs are quite expensive | |
