ERTS: Ignore the Spore Pirating Scare

I'm not going to pretend to be much of an expert at the stock market, but I know my games... and I happen to know enough about pirating too. My friends, of which I have many, are the kinds of friends who love spore and many of them also pirate. Some analysts have mentioned that they feel EA's stock value will go down due to difficulties with Spore's piracy protection and piracy itself. Granted, Spore is a game that will be hurt financially due to this issue, but not by much, and the cause is the difficulty that honest buyers of the game have to go through if their systems happen to crash or malfunction and they have to reinstall more than 3 times. As a result a few people might personally justify pirating the game, but because of the strong push by EA to prevent piracy of this game, anyone who pirates it is going to be severely limited in what they can do. What's more, Spore draws in a lot of interest by it's multiplayer online features, which are easily denied to the user by EA when using a cracked/pirated copy. The simple fact is that all of the people who I know want to buy a legit copy of Spore and find that anything less, at least at this point, would be far from worth it. Spore is the new type of gaming addiction to the gaming community and if EA just plays their cards right on the pricing, there's nothing stopping it from becoming another surge in stock values over the holidays.
