You missed my point, if that were true all singleplayer games would have died out along ago. The ability to commit crime does not equal the number of crimes commited. If it did, we'd have all killed each other long ago. Many games(including previous releases of the TW series) have come out before release but have still sold well. This is because not everyone is a thief as you seem to think. I'm not arguing that warez doesn't exist and that it isn't a problem, but you've really overexaggerated its effect.
And even assuming your theory true and you've done nothing to show it being so, the TW series already requires a valid cdkey for online play, which has a strong community going for it. So if somehow on the next TW release everyone with an internet connection pirates the game instea of paying for it, they'd still have to pay if they want to play versus the real "challenge" in multi as you put it.
