Gottfried, the idea is that preventing pirating would increase the profit margins for software developers. The money in turn would lure more software developers into the market. This would foster more competition, which then in turn lowers prices and promotes innovation.

Of course with Microsoft, talking about competition and innovation in the software world is kind of pointless. Oh well.
