I remember reading an article about a survey that looked at pirated software, and the average of any given software was 20% pirated, which, and I'm not saying "that's a low number, it's fine to pirate", but it is blown out of proportion. Modern Warfare 2 still managed to net in quite a large amount of money.
I've different views on this latest move by EA though. It doesn't really affect me as I buy most of my games through Steam now, but when you do have a game shop selling second hand games, they do get all the profit from that game, and a lot of the time, if it's a new game, they charge near full price for it.
But then, there is the point that someone has already paid for that game, so in essence they can do what they want with it.
