Nailed it. I know a TON of people at school here who pirate anythign and everything - PC and Mac users alike. I noticed a lot of the problem might be that a lot of recent adopters of Macs aren't all that tech-savvy, and piracy requires a small amount of computer skill to actually pull off efficiently.

This, of course, is only a small personal observation. I'm sure there are many of you whom see things quite differently.

Much like has already been mentioned above.

what computer skill do you need to pirate? Double click skill with the ability to hit next and type on a keyboard? I think people have fooled themselves into believing that stealing software = e133t h4xxorZ when in reality its more like a little kid stealing a piece of candy out of the grocery store.
