    Yes I do use Genuine Softwares. Windows 7 is out! But I prefer Genuine Windows XP over Pirated Windows 7.

    I mostly use open source, but for the stuff where the commerical versions are substantially better (e.g. Photoshop) I use paid versions. Fortunately I've always been able to get my clients to buy me the software so except for a few bits of shareware I haven't laid out any of my own money.

    I actually used to have one years ago but 1) wasn't really worth it to me and 2) we had really tiny mail boxes and the mailman couldn't fit the cd'es in there or he either bent them or I had to pick them up at the local post office.

    I suspect that you can't download them... In effect the files are bigger. Try with download accelerator to resume in more download session.

    Most copies of pirated software online are infected. Either the program itself, the crack, the keygen or the .rar file it's packed in. Some of this malware is so obscure or custom that it is months or even years before AV programs detect it.

    Every single piece of software on both my desktop and my laptop are genuine and legal. The same goes for my vast DVD and CD collections. I do not steal.

    Because WHO ARE YOU GOING TO TELL?

    Just like you can beat up potheads and steal their weed. WHO CAN THEY CALL?

    When you sell someone drugs? You can give them any old crap. It doesn't have to be what you said it was. It can be anything. WHERE CAN THEY REPORT YOU?

    Who's going to call the cops and say "hey, Bob stole my weed" or "hey, Joe sold me plaster instead of crack" or anything like that?

    Think a little bit, before you cross over that line. It's not the same as it is over here.

    I also use genuine windows and office. Though, I use one or two pirated software for testing purpose before buying the genuine one. :D
