Say,
theoretically speaking, I have downloaded a game of the internet that wasnt legit.
And say i started to feel A) Guilty or B) I wanted to play online with it. Well a LOT of people download games of the net and never buy them, but what if software companies started to encourage this, and instead of blocking these people, allowed them to buy JUST a CD-Key online from the creators for a fee lower than the in-shop price.
They then wouldnt need publishers, they wouldnt have to pay the cost of printing manuals, box's CD's etc, OR they could but just make it a few quid more expensive to do that, you could just download what you want from P2P and buy a Key for a legit version.
Wouldnt that be a better way of doing things?
