They may not be freely available, but they ARE damaging to profits because
they are substitute for the new games that people might otherwise have
purchased.
Record companies would say that copied MP3's are killing the new music
market, and perhaps they're right (although I don't think so, but that's
another discussion...). It's just the same with the video games market.
Copyright owners will obviously be making a judgement on whether going
after the copyright infringers will earn them more than investing in new
games. Put your manuals on Kazaa and that will never be the case.
I'll put all of manuals, not that many, on tonight. The idea of doing a
DVD is nice, but you have to have a DVD player, and you have to have a the
DVD. I don't have either, so it's quicker to just do a search on the web.
It's just that bit easier...
