That's interesting about the Spanish ruling on “piracy”. I wonder if the judge saw the recent story (which I've been meaning to blog about over at CCIZ) in which a small game developer put up one of its own games on The Pirate Bay and saw a massive increase in sales.
As a lot of commentators said at the time, this effect probably works better for smaller players than the major ones, but the judge's point was that it's almost impossible to determine the damage - or otherwise - caused by “piracy” in an individual case, not that it's always the opposite of what the big boys claim.
