This blog entry is dedicated to the individuals and developers that blame Piracy as the primary cause for lowering PC sales. I've already talked a bit on my reasoning behind the lower sales (many which are obvious) [1] [2]. I too believe piracy can hurts sales, but as the primary reason, hardly, the issue (like so many issues) is not that black and white. I will keep this up-to-date as people chime in, if you comment on an addition, please link to a reference. This list is maintained to give readers a view on who they support with their money.
