I'm running pirated XP under a legitimate key. I cracked my XP cd after accidently stepping on it. No harm, no foul.
You should not have told me that. Now you owe me $18 billion to stop me from reporting you to the XP henchmen I'll take payment either via Paypal or Goats. Col
I won't lie, I do on occasion use pirated software, but just to test if its what i really need. Then I always buy it and write it off.
My all stuff is illegal And never used any original product and I'm not going to do it No money more Fun
If it wasnt for pirated software i dont think i would be on these forums now.... I would have never went out and splashed out all the money on dreamweaver , flash etc... in the hope that i would learn how to use it ... but now.... i might actually buy a copy.... but then again... that would be pointless because i would only end up downloading a updated illegal version a few months down the line.
I don't use pirated softwares either.. www.download.com has all of my needs and hey, investing a couple hundred on programs like photoshop... you'll just get your money back from freelance projects
It's actually very easy to find expensive software cheaply even if its a year or so out of date, say for example ebay, you can get some great stuff of there cheaper than if you bought it direct. Not saying there won't be dodgey copies flying around ebay, it's almost impossible for that not to happen but there are genuine deals to be had, i've bought some great stuff i never thought id be able to buy. Like MS Flight Sim for example (2002 version or something) I got that of ebay for £20 or so and buying it from somewhere like game costs double or more the price, even for the older versions. Even if it is second hand i don't care, it's legal, it works so how can I complain. It's better allround to stay legal, allthough I agree that some software is extremely overpriced but definately shop around online your bound to find it cheaper somewhere
everything is have on my PC is pirated. muhahaha and im proud of it! but then again in my country it wasnt illigal to use pirated software 2-3 years back!

It really depends on how important your personal data integrity is, if you have lots of naked pictures of your wife on your PC then I would advise strongly against hacked operating systems! She might end up on some illegal porn site somewhere and you being killed by your wife, but; you never know your wife might like the idea Use hacked software cautiously it can take many hours to crack and reverse engineer a piece of software and you should ask the question why? Some hackers just do it for the challenge, others because it’s Microsoft but I would say a good third do it for other benefits like credit cards, porn, and loads of other illegal activities as well as the buzz from cracking the software itself they may get a large payout.

You should change the questions to: Does anyone actually pay for software...or music...or games...or anything at all?
I have always used legitimate Msft products, and have had access to legitimate software licenses luckily, this run will continue in college since my university gives me microsoft licenses. So I am one of the few here who will never have used pirated msft products
I use orignal Windows XP and Office 2003. I have nothing else on my PC. Other than that I use some open source and freeware. I have very limited software. ):
I have used so much illegal software that when I start up my comp I get a box saying "this computer is running illegal software". This box is coming before the desktop starts. And this is not a joke. Do any of you know how I can remover it ?
