If 1/4 have bootleg software (I assume it's a bit higher but they don't know it), they probably have a mixture (i.e., not ***all*** bootleg), so the "market" for software is probably higher that that 75%. Wow! Compared to the cost of lost sales to copy protection in the old days, that's not bad. Now, if it was 1% of those that would have bought it did, then you need a new model (which even then you can make money, as Open Source shows).
I assume you are ignoring the irony of bootlegging this video...
