Ok so how do you propose that 'ethical' software devs prevent the release week bleed that piracy brings?

I mean, I am ALL FOR piracy and have been doing it for years, just it has a marked effect on first week sales

I also think DRM is the wrong answer, but I can't think of any other answers so maybe you have some?
