What you're saying is analogous to "wh= y bother buying a car for a bazillion [insert monetary unit here] when I = can just steal one from the local parking lot?" You might be getting the = pirated software "for free," but in reality, you and your kin are costing= the software industry so much money that one could run a small-ish count= ry with it. Just because a computer program is less concrete than a car, = it doesn't mean it's less illegal to steal software. Try it out at your local (_LEGAL_) software vendor: see a program you lik= e? Take the box and calmly walk out with it. You can tell the cops that y= ou're not going to pay for something you can get for free. I'm sorry for the rant, but I find it irritating that people defend softw= are piracy. *Nobody* wants to pay for anything, but since we live in a fr= ee-market capitalist society (most of us, anyhow) it's something we'll ha= ve to cope with. There, finished.
