Copying games, I think is a fraud. People go out and buy games honestly, however some people copy games just to make a bit a money, for one it is illegal and companies that spent all their time are being ripped off by people who would do anything to get money. This effects the future of gaming considerably, as people are copying games the developers are losing money, and if they have no money, no more games. Most people don't know of the rule of "Copyright".

Virgin never recovered from Toonstruck.
They made one of the greatest games ever, but they shouldn't have.
I love that game.

Piracy is a crime. Videogame piracy profits go towards drugs, prostitution, terrorism and were directly responsible for the subsidence at 28, NutGrove Road, Warrington in 1998.
By copying games, you are not only stealing, you are depriving people who care about the industry access to cheaper games. Not to mention making games developers go without food, in some cases having to sell their own children into slavery to make ends meet.
The longterm consquences of videogame piracy are hardly ever discussed, but already we are seeing the effects. SquareSoft, possibly one of the largest developers in the world, was recently forced to merge with rivals Enix in a bid to make ends meet. TakeTwo are able to acquire smaller companies cheaper than ever before. Rage have gone bust, Virgin Interactive are rumoured to be going under, and we're only 3 weeks into the new year.
By merging companies, we are losing diversity, we are losing competition, and eventually we'll be in a position where Bill Gates buys them all up at just the right price leaving XBox as the only available console for which games are being produced.
His monopoly will be complete.
SO DON'T COPY GAMES!!
