When I think back, I copied hundred of disks over the years, but played/used most of them no more than once - then used the disks for the next 'round' of copies. A lot of the stuff was nowhere near as good as some of teh reviews made out...If I'd paid good money for them I'd not only be p*ssed off, but skint as well!Mike.
Like I mentioned before people can justify it in many convincing ways. It doesnt change the key facts does it? A software developer makes a piece of software a price is decided and that software is sold. It is illegal (for want of a better word) to pirate that software! That is the way it works. I agree with what you say but that doesnt change that fact does it? Thats why I don't justify it! I do what I do and that is that! I to could use the same arguements as you but I dont. When I said "The fact is people do it because they can, plain and simple." I ment in general, obviously every individual has their own story, point of view. As for allowing you a future career thats awsome but software developers dont owe the youth of today anything, and surely you could have gained the same skills in say college/university. Please dont see that as a attack im just saying its never going to be right to pirate because there are laws in place against it and trying to justify it is pointless becasue it will never be "ok". If you dont agree with a law you campain to change it, you dont just break it surely?
