    That's a remarkably idiotic way of thinking about theft, CokeCan. Despite your skewed moral compass there is no better justification for stealing from large companies than there is in taking money from an old lady's purse.

    Just because you can't see the face of the victim doesn't mean that there isn't one. For instance, Adobe's 3rd quarter profits are down 35% on last year. How much of that do you think is due to software piracy; all those thousands of people who download Photoshop from warez sites, Limewire and Bittorrent while soothing themselves with the thought that Adobe make millions?

    Software piracy costs millions. It cost jobs. Do it or don't do it, I don't care. Just don't pretend that it's OK if you want to be treated with respect.
