True. I was mostly picking fun at the idea of "testing" a car. When you test drive a car, you get permission from the dealer to do that. You don't just walk into the lot, hop in a car and drive away. That's what makes it a pretty bad analogy for the whole piracy angle. If the developers gave permission for people to play for a bit for free, then it might work.
