How can it cost 1 billion? How the heck do you measure piracy? Loss of possible sales? Most people who pirate either don't have the money to purchase it, or they find the software isn't worth purchasing.

Pirometer plugged into the interwebs.
I know, I hate when they try to claim how much money was "lost" when the vast majority of people wouldn't have bought it in the first place. I hate piracy, but sometimes the software industry is equally (if not more so) retarded.

Probably something along the lines of measuring total downloads of certain torrents and multiplying it by the cost of a license for said software. There's obviously some estimation, and further calculation here. People can project any value they want.
