just goes to show that the majority think copyright laws are wrong its time to modernise and stop ripping off consumers with games i mean 40pounds cmon!

Errrm. Since when has 7.4% been 'the majority'? That looks that less than 10% of people to me.

Does this also prove the piracy causes people to lose the ability to use punctuation correctly and spout nonesense on the internet?

If computer game cannot recoup it cost within 6 months then never going to.
Copyright is pointless when it longer then 10 years. Tell me what you use on you computer that is older then 10 years. Sorry to say this but some singing 50 years ago for few hours should NOT get any money and any should be making money from works.

1/5 (or 20%) of the under 30s voted for the Pirate Party, so it provides you a pretty good idea what a large chunk of the 'Net Generation' thinks about online copyright.

Yes, people have copied stuff since the c64, atari & amiga days, but with the Net everything is of a completely different scale. (no BBS's, nerd-nerd disc swapping) So, not only the music & film industries need to do something about extinct business models, but also the 'mighty' games.

its always about money... its all its ever been about. Piracy is always on the assumption that the people who illegaly got the goods would have purchased the official release anyway.

the movie, music and games industry shouldn't be prosecuting the people who are making this file sharing possible because those people are the ones working in the industry!

Music and Film have learned there lessons just about with a full album and average dvd being released for around the £10 mark. but Games are still priced ridiculously high. this is why the preowned market for games works so well. so you can pick up a new title sometimes £10 or more cheaper than getting it brand new.

i think its time the game film and music industrys work out how they can reduce costs to make cinema prices cheaper, dvds and blu rays cheaper and still make there money. and i have the answer. PAY THE ACTORS $1million LESS. its rediculous. this person got 124million for making this film... REALLY coz they NEED that much money????? come on stop robbing the consumer reduce the costs make it cheaper....

you can pick up a pirate dvd from the market car boot for about £3.50... try sending single disc new release dvds to £5 and see how it goes.

The industry's lies about the cost of piracy have been busted yet again, in Saturday's Guardian. MCV won't allow links, so Google for "Bad Science".

The Pirate win is an important one. It shows how computer literate Sweden is as a country and represents a movement into a new social age. The digital generation values communication because we understand its intrinsic relationship to progress. Also we are cheap and sick of getting ripped off.

I wonder what the basis is for complaints about the cost of games at retail, given that £40 (£10 more than the average retail price for a game on any platform in 2009) for a game with 10 hours of gameplay is roughly equivalent to the price per hour of other entertainment (e.g. cinema, music, five-a-side football). Why do people believe games are too expensive?

Regardless, if you're not prepared to pay a given price for a game, you have the right to negotiate or walk away (and no, you don't have the right to pirate it). I'd like to know what price games should be, and why people feel it's OK to pirate a game for free rather than wait a few weeks until it is reduced.

right on. We're all being ripped off. Everything should be free. Every game should be given away at the door of the shop.
And we shouldnt have to to pay for a console,or big plasma TV, the electricty to run them, your next car, or the roads to drive it on.
Oh and you'lll need somewhere to live when you grow up, so better start looking for a builder who will work for nothing.
