Personally, I think a lot of the newer contributions to Piracy are the Copy Protection stuff installed on a PC. People get so sick of buying a game that's gonna infect it with something they don't want, and don't deserve for actually paying for the game, so they download a hacked full version of the game just to play it like they originally intended.

This kind of thing really shouldn't be about the money and protecting the investment from piracy, It should be about designing the games. There will always be people who pirate games, and their will always be people who don't know enough about computers to pirate so they'd buy it instead. Developers should really spend less time worrying about piracy and more time about the quality of the game.
