- Unfortunately those that pirate software will always convince themselves and
- try to convince others that what they do is okay! People that pirate software
- will do so no matter what the price, even $10.00. I have the game
- 'Thunder Blade' which has Pepsi logos on the box and in the game but it still
- cost $55.00!!!
