How many companys are really cheated out of thousands if not millions of pounds a year by copying playstation games?Almost all of them,even though the prices are quite high in the highstreet stores like £30 for a game.But some people think im not paying that im going to rent it from a shop and copy it or ask my mate to copy it.It is a warning to the companys that prices of games are to high and that piracy wont stop unless they bring down the price.

How about when the gaming industry turns around and says that the prices won't go down unless piracy stops?
Catch 22.

eh? In about 2 years time, Sega will be the 2nd biggest publisher after Ninty. And they don't have hardware loses (hardware is sold at a loss), to worry about.
And, unlike Sony, Sega produce games on all consoles... meaning that not all games will be able to be copied (well, not as quickly as it will take for the PS2 to be cracked). And if piracy is a big problem on, say, the PS2, then they can just make games for the GC etc.
NiGHTS!

This would hurt companies like Sega more. Sony can stand the loss because of the massive user base they have.
