If I give out a million version of some piece of software for FREE instead I'm not taking away actual sales away from the owner? I beg to differ.
Most of my point was that it isnt accurate to call it Piracy, which used to imply that profit was being made.

If someone pays for pirated software it's 100% verifiable that it's a lost sale to the company. Downloading for free, on the other hand, wouldn't be 100% lost sales, and could in fact boost revenue in some situations (ie Photoshop).
