There is no difference, as others have pointed out. Digital items are valued at the cost of man-hours required to build it, as are physical items, though physical items have the additional material costs to go along with. Digital may seem to be more expensive, but it is not. by comparison digital technology move much faster than engineering/built items mostly because of the material cost difference. I wouldn't recommend asking people who's jobs go into those hours that value digital titles. We're not the ones to tell you how to steal our own work.

Great point. When you have thousands of licensed copies of software out there, it lowers the manufacturing cost, whereas a $600K Ferrari like the one the owner of the place my wife works at, there are not very many of those around ( at least on the order of magnitude as software ).

Are Ferrari's really any rarer than the similarly priced software like a database server licensed for a 64(?)way machine?
