    That's why I do it. I don't have an excuse, I can afford the programs but I pirate them anyways.

    Then again, how many people do you know that have bought every single music file they have on their computer? Not too many.

    Majority of software on my PC are pirated, though I purcahse cheap software but I really don't want to spend (Waste) money on OS. :) And who spends money on music :eek:

    I think you really love tshirts. I can send you mine if you wish :rolleyes:

    I agree with you on this. That doesn't hurt big companies at all.

    I tried that and it didn't work. In fact Right now Microsoft's Notice (You May be the victim of software piracy) is making fun of me in my system tray. :(

    Well, I guess it's kinda hard to ignore free stuff when it's so easily available thanks to the likes of mininova. I think only corporations will buy cause the legal implications are there. As a home user, i believe that you are safe. It's like
    singling out needles in a haystack

    I do and I'm not ashamed. I can justify myself through various philosophical schools of ethics (utility, anyone?). Law shouldn't be taken at face-value.

    I know places that use illegal software and they are like computer repairers and stuff who have their own shops. Its morally and ethically wrong but i don't think they can stop it.
