You are welcome, thanks to you too for understand my point of view. Here are my observations.
Yes, a key code, and not really practical in game. But in general if I buy a programme or game for personal use I don’t think that I should pay twice for using it on two machines, my PC and my desktop. So if I have two AVs with rooms I should not have to pay twice: it’s like having to buy 2 CD’s, one to play at home and another in car. I know that this is not the main point, it’s unauthorised reselling.
Is true that you don't need to pay twice for use a programme or game on two machines, but this is because you are using the same account in both (Adobe account, Steam account, ect). If you try to use that game or programme at the same time in two machines, you just can't. In your example you can use the CD in both, but only in one at the same time.
Yes and I fail to understand the economics. Full Photoshop sells for >£500 and cut down Elements for £70: if full Photoshop was only £200 so many more people would buy it that Adobe would make more money.
It is also true that if anything lowers its price is more accessible, but that depends on the people you want to reach. For example, if Apple sold their products for cheaper price they would surely have more sales but wouldn't have that touch of exclusivity that makes it so distinguished.
Yes and it’s down to a justifiable lack of trust in game. If someone marketed your design then they would have done something that they should be paid for. It’s when they sell it without your permission that is the problem.
I agree with you in this, but as I said at the beginning I don't think there is a solution to that problem.
