this contradiction always confused me. either way the official company is “losing a sale” and not getting the money, right?

          Anecdotal evidence is literally evidence of one (which disproves “zero” claims). Collections of anecdotal evidences make statistics making your dismissive statement dumb.

          I’m adding to the pile. I can name literally over a dozen people in my childhood who copied Discs.

            Start naming. Organize the names. And their experiences, and start collecting over time, if you wanna go that route. Because otherwise, you’re just some random words in the ether.

              We are… you have 3 in front of you. Out of the probably 300-400 people who’ve looked at this thread you’ve seen 3 people answer affirmatively. You’re watching it happen in real time!

      Burning CDs. That’s how I know most people didn’t know how to do it, or want to put in the effort. You had to go buy a stack of CDs, hope your computer supported burning, had to make sure players could support the burned disc (depending on if you made a music disc or data disc, if it was rewritable), and spend the time to burn the disc.

      Contrast that to ctrl+c ctrl+v.

      There’s more people who can ‘duplicate’ digital files than there were people burning CDs.
