Is piracy a serious issue for game developers?

Yes- that's problematic, and this situation does crop up from time to time: Issac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz both invented Calculus independently of one another, but most only remember or credit Newton. There have been lots of discussions on how to handle it, none has accumulated any real consensus.

Actually, there is a consensus. It is considered accurate to say that Newton developed the Calculus, and Leibniz is responsible for certain refinements and the notation that is used for most purposes today. So sayeth my Math History professor, and he'd know.

And having shown off my math history knowledge, I'm going to declare this thread closed with one more...

Moderator's Note: Whether one believes piracy is morally acceptable or not, it is legally not allowed. Board policy remains that supporting piracy by asking for material will get a thread closed; while supporting piracy by providing material will get the thread closed and earn you at least a temporary banning.

Other than that, let's leave the topic alone for a few days at least, before reopening the discussion, please. (Although if anyone wants to discuss the history of Mathematics, that could happen in the Off-topic forum. )
