As I agree with you that stealing is wrong, I wonder is pirating software really stealing. Say you never had any intention of buying this software in the first place, weather it was $5 or $500 you would never buy it. You get that part right? So if all the money that you were going to spend on this game should go to the author, Right? My answer is. They deserve none of my money, because I was never going to pay for it in the first place. If my options were simply to have a copy of the software legitimately or not to have it at all, I would simply not have it at all. But, as the situation is, at hand, I can have my cake and eat it too! If I get caught, I will simply pay the consequences and pay up. In all reality I actually do pay for the software I download if I think the software is worth it, for instance Photoshop cs I own legally, reason being is that I believe in their products. I believe they are worth paying for. But to this day I would not own Photoshop legally if I had never downloaded it for free in the first place (for me a 30 day trial is not enough time to use a program to it's full potential). I did not have the money at the time, but I needed the program, I used it. Later I got a better job and now I own the program. I bet if you asked the people that have a lot of illegally downloaded software if they were to either chose to have the software legally they would say here take it back! I don't want it. The creators would never have made that money anyways. When pirating software dies, our country dies. There will always be someone pirating software. They will never stop us, ever. It will always be done for the rest of history in one form or another so I think everyone should just stop bitching and deal with it. Yes, if you have the intentions of buying the software but you steal it, it is wrong. But if you never had any intentions to buy this software in the first place who are you hurting? The money still would have never left your pocket and enterd the pocket of another. Basically buy making a statement that stealing is wrong you are saying hey you should not break the law, well thanks for the update we will all keep that into consideration. Now I need to get back to S'eanceing the devil for my evil plans. What is this in my arse, oh the cruse fix I was sitting on earlier whoops it must have slip into the brown dimension! My bible is speaking to me I must be going now! Jesus said it was alright to use the software, so it was fine!
