Vita isn't download only. Just this week they already had to pull games from PSN for piracy concerns.

Piracy thankfully didn't pick up on PS3, but the most pirated game on 360 last year was GoW3 with 890,000 illegal downloads last year. That's $53 million dollars that went missing. The Wii was even worse with 1.2 million Mario Galaxy downloads. You can argue that some of the people that pirated wouldn't have purchased the game if they couldn't get it for free, but at least some of them would.

After the fact or not if you agree to em, you agree to em (and we all do in order to play the game or use online features).

If you don't like the way they do business, don't give em your money. Really as simple as that.
