On the street in Soeul etc you can buy CD's with half a million
dollars in software for $10.00. Lots of people do exactly that
and use maybe 1 package, maybe 0. I expect this is the most 
common form of piracy by at least a power of ten.

Then there are teenage software piracy clubs where kids 
get hundreds of floppys with pirated software. Fear of
viruses keeps them from even reading more than a few.
