"This is BS as far as the so called losses are concerend. I guess Bill isn't as rich as he could be, instead of 60 billion he could have 100 billiion or so, poor guy."

Don't worry Bill Gates isn't losing anything to piracy really. They factor in the costs of piracy in their business model. So in all reality everyone who pays for software pays for the piracy and Mr. Gates loses nothing when the net profits role in.
