How clever of you to steal money in such a safe fashion from ToB's developers, so that all of us--you included--will find fewer games of this type on store shelves! Yes, a true laugh riot. 
Maybe when you reach an age when you start to think, your understanding of the issues involved will change.
If you like something and you want it to continue, it makes sense to pay more for it, not less. This is at the root of buying expensive seats for a concert, or tipping somebody for a service you enjoy. You want it to continue, and you like what they've done. Developers are in the same boat. They work hard, and for many years putting out games. Ripping off a developer means less money for them, and makes their product look poorer to merchandisers who determine how well a product does by how well it sells (naturally enough). By copying a game, you're just helping see to it that fewer games are made in the future.
