Things don't need to be novel and amazing to be marketable. And if it's that trivial, rather than pirating it people would just rewrite it. The fact that they're stealing it means it has value.

The fact that they're stealing it means it's priced above its perceived value though.

So it has perceived value...

But that guy above was saying that it's worthless and trivial to implement...

You can't have it both ways.

That's not true at all. People often steal because they value the item but cannot afford the price.
