Using theft of a car as an example he said that "Piracy is not theft," and that "If you steal a car, the original is lost. If you copy a game, there are simply more of them in the world."
When talking about the fact that people view pirated downloads as lost sales he stated "There is no such thing as a 'lost sale'," "Is a bad review a lost sale? What about a missed ship date?".
Persson also went on to discuss the model that Minecraft itself uses saying that "You can't pirate an online account.". What do you folks make of this? I agree with what he says mostly, piracy is one of those things that's just part and parcel of the industry and some methods halt it better than others.
