Small decrease in profit, many people will and do pirate, they still will have many legitimate customers, so it's not a big deal imo.

In a corporate environment where volume licensing Is applicable, I agree that It will be a legit product.

As for the average stand-alone consumer, I'd say anywhere between 30-50% opt for a pirated version. Statistically, It's not possible to put a figure on It. Everyone I know does not pay for software, but that's the caliber of people of whom I associate with.
