  17. Actually this isn't true. Software piracy creates two copies of a a program
  18. where only one existed before. Shoplifting doesn't create anything.
  19.  
  20. Software piracy also doesn't affect shopowners in the same way as shoplifting
  21. because the software is still on their shelves...
