a CD is differant then an app is differant then a movie... a CD is music, its non-essential and you learn nothing from owning it... you are in effect stealing it if you download an MP3... an app? how else is a 14 year old kid going to learn 3D? or 2D? he dosent have 1500 to spend on the app....so its in everyones intrest he gets it for free and learns it... the expensive industry standerd app... and goes on to buy it and contribute... most companies would be out of business if it wherent for piracy in the software business... e.g Quark,Adobe,Macromedia,NewTek and most certinly Alias|Wavefront... by ignoring pirates and produceing the top-tier apps they in effect lay seed for market enuchia wich helps them in the long run.
