i'm not suggest to sell it for 5$, let it be 50$, but make it for common people, increase distribution, allow more people to buy it for affordable price. Of course it's easier to sell 1k copies for 100-150$ than few thousands for 50$. But it's one of the reason why people pirating software and even tough law will not stop it (p2p networks, VPN's, there are many ways to avoid chasing).

you calculating profit in a wrong way, i'm talking about profit of DEVELOPER, not about profit of shop\reseller, example with cassette tape directed right to the shop, but not to rightholder\developer. It doesn't matter how much it cost in absolute number, my point is about better ballance between price and sales. Some software giants are more flexible in this terms, they're dealing with by piracy using marketing methods (like decreasing prices, rebates, different types of licence agreements)
