If I buy a book, I should have every right to cross out random words, or write in the margins if I wish (provided Shiori doesn't see me).
I don't have the right to make a copy of the book, fair enough, but I can modify it as I wish.

Similarly, if I buy software, I should have the write to blank out random bytes or shift them around as I please.  I don't claim to have a right to redistribute the software, however I do have the right to distribute the work I put in - that is, the modifications I have performed.

It takes. A long. Long. Long. Long. Time. To Make. A Game.
And if someone just went and took those thousands of hours of work for free? I'd be pretty pissed too to be honest.

Thought I'd point out a few things:
- When you are paid to program/create something, it's no longer yours - business law 101 - so if you think people pirating stuff = stealing your stuff, you are horribly mistaken
- Most of the money doesn't go to fund the underpaid, overworked game developer, it goes to incompetent management and to fund the next BMW of the company's CEO (go search up on the horror stories of being a game dev)
- From the above, the big studios earn f*ckloads of cash - check the amount of profit they get
- You get paid to do sh*t, pretty much how every industry works, even providing free services
- Oh, have I mentioned that there have been multiple cases where the studios have been found pirating themselves?  Hell, even the "would you 'borrow' a car" ad contains pirated music

Super Hero for president!!!!

While I don't blame Sony for putting time into securing their console, the "content management assistant" is a bit much.
