I didn't read every post in this thread so shoot me down If this has been asked before but isn't the poll title flawed?
"Do you Currently Use Any Copyrighted Software That Haven't Actually Paid For... "
Most opensource and freeware software is copyrighted but you don't pay for it. And oem os copies are paid for by the oem not you, so technically you are using copyrighted software someone else paid for.
I use emulators for games from the nes to the n64 or so era. Most of the games I own original copies of but some I don't. If there was a way to give the original publisher money for many of these games I probably would.
For a long time I didn't do that, but it's really kinda pointless, not playing a game you have the rom and emulator for simply because it hasn't been sold in 20 years and the publisher has no interest in doing anything with it.
