About piracy: The scanlated manga thing doesn't really apply to me I think because I don't read manga online, but the comics I do have (DC) are all original. Most of the music I listen to are lossless rips from original CDs I own because I don't like 128kbps music as the audio hardware I use reveals the lossy encoding. I do have some pirated mainstream stuff though. Indie, I almost always buy original. PSP games are pirated (aside from MH!!! BUY MH!!) , PS2 games too. People can get preachy all they want with me but I don't really care as I think the balance I'm maintaining is sufficient. Porn can disappear, don't really care about it.
Aren't region 3 games significantly cheaper already?

Just because one isn't able to pay for a game doesn't mean that they doesn't deserve to play it. Would it be better instead to have publishers decrease their prices to what may be considered acceptable to people in developing countries instead? As it stands, they charge for the same price wherever the game is sold, and they're not capturing potential markets in developing countries.
