    I support Warez lol, specially for Windows lol, because if you format your pc and try to reinstall windows xp, you can't update anymore, unless you call Microsoft, which I find is stupid, I paid for it, I should have the option to get updates free no matter if I format or not.

    Not all users have internet.

    I was talking about an institute course, or a university lesson. No one teaches GIMP, only Photoshop.

    I don't support warez but I'm not against them though.

    Warez help to prevent costly mistakes, let's say you want vBulletin but you are unsure if it's suitable for your site so you download a warez version instead of spend your hard earned money.

    After testing on your PC a script or a software package you can go for the real thing if you find that's what you were expecting for.

    You can get a trial version, does not mean you need to get a warez to test out.

    I download a lot of stuff from torrent sites. The way I see it, movie stars, film producers etc. are overpaid. People working their asses off trying to help better the world are still living off of bread and water.

    But I'd be a hypocritical cock if I used that as an excuse to filch digital property. I do steal digital stuff like movies and music but I do it because I want to; not because I have a self-righteous excuse for it.

    Ok this is my view of warez

    You want to buy something, say a album, but then find it for free on the net and download it instead, thats when i dont support it,

    But if you download something merely for the sake of getting it because its free then i think its fine, if you would have never paid for it in the first place, getting it for free is no loss for the company.

    Thats my view anyway

    I download software I want, like Photoshop, Illustrator etc. I know its not proper to do that, but the way I see it is I'm not costing Adobe any money, as I wouldnt have bought the product for the retail price anyway, if I couldnt download it I'd use a free or cheaper alternative. Its not like I've walked into walmart and stole a television and actively cost them money. If I download it from a torrent then its no loss to Adobe.

    I never use warez scripts or anything on my sites, as often they are written by one guy working on his own so I always pay to support them.

    Music I download free out of lazyness, I listen to all my music on my laptop anyway so having cd's of the albums are useless to me, especially when some have copy protection to prevent you ripping them back to your pc.

    Films I also download, as its a way I can see them often months before they are released where I live.

    I bet 90% of people here are using a non-legit copy of dreamweaver and photoshop.

    yep
    i support WAREZ
    just because of the cost of the actual software
    the like oracle which costs a huge amount which people cant afford,
    & yea one thing bout O.S
    people who support warez
    should also once look around for open source O.S like ubuntu , open suse, these are very good for home users
    &free too
