Alias;
Possibly "Simple economics", however it is up to the owner to decide
how and at what cost to distribute the product.
People that think just because the price is to high and pirate
something are nothing more than thieves.

It has been said many times.
Cost does nothing to justify theft.
People choose to be thieves or not.
Microsoft or any other business for that matter is in no way the
cause.
People make and are responsible for their own choices.
