[Intimidator]

Don't understand me wrong , I'm not PRO-Pirate.
But through pirating I got to know SEIV 1.49, so simply said : without pirating I would NEVER BOUGHT SEIV-gold and SEV. And I would neither infected 4 friends, 1 brother and 2 nephews with the Space Empire Virus (they all bought SEIV and the most of them are going to buy SEV (or already did))

So, I know it's NO excuse but it's an simple example on HOW pirating can help a game to get known (see it as an extended demo)
