Does anybody have the greentext that goes something like

Pirate game

Company loses $60 because it's theft

Company regains $60 after deleting game from hard drive

Pirate one million copies, company bankrupt from massive theft

Buy insolvent company for cheap

Delete all game copies, company profitable again

I love that, it's almost like how banks make money with loans: create money out of thin air, lend it, profit.
