[quote who="Coelocanth" reply="16" id="2106573"]Not making a judgment call here, but by pirating it in the first place, you've already given them a reason to slap more DRMs on things. From what I've seen, publishers tend to look at the number of DLs on torrent sites to see how bad piracy actually is.
