Good, then all the people who never bought a thing from you can repeatedly complain about YOUR business. I won't hold my breath, I've noticed all the F-er's who whine, complain, and threaten to open a competing business and run their enemy out have never run a successful business and never will.
To the O.P- This one is easy Pirate aren't the only game in town, if they or any vendor can't keep stuff in stock -buy elsewhere. If you like the vendor's product more or they are the only one selling it, then you just have to wait.

To people that like to whine: The only reason that a company can ignore or neglect their customers is that they have more business than they can handle and don't care to grow, or there is no competition that can provide better product/service. Complaining will have no effect on these business owners as they are already fully aware and have made decision that's how they will run things. Vote for your favorite vendor WITH YOUR $.
