I have not seen any game companies go out of business from piracy. Sure, it reduces profits, but the vast majority of people that pirate a game would not have paid for it in the first place, so it is not really much in the way of lost profits.

Unlike a STD, software pirates are sentient beings and very ingenious. Copy protection and such has always been breakable, has always been broken, and will always be breakable.
