this contradiction always confused me. either way the official company is "losing a sale" and not getting the money, right?

I don’t know anyone who didn’t do this.

Anecdotal evidence isn't evidence.

Anecdotal evidence is literally evidence of one (which disproves "zero" claims). Collections of anecdotal evidences make statistics making your dismissive statement dumb.

I'm adding to the pile. I can name literally over a dozen people in my childhood who copied Discs.

Start naming. Organize the names. And their experiences, and start collecting over time, if you wanna go that route. Because otherwise, you're just some random words in the ether.
