Oh come on!! Sure, you can't justify piracy, I agree 100% what is the
purpose of copyright laws? To protect the creators from losing money,
right? In this case, the creators of Doom 2 are not losing money at
all. But, yes, you are right, it's still breaking the law, and some of
these people who are justifying piracy by saying it helps sales really
need to quit trying to justify their actions. It's still illegal..
