Amiga games, yes.
Software within the last 10 years, no.

I can't remember the last time I needed a piece of software that was not GPL or a similar license. Just say no to proprietary software. I did buy copies of Prey, Quake 4 and Quakewars as I like to support linux developers buttheres almost always a better, free alternative

Copyright infringement is not the same as theft of personal property. For now, books, videos, and records still count as personal property. It won't be long before publishers start adding license agreements to books, magazines, and audio and video recordings, though, and they'll no longer be personal property. They'll simply be licensed works. This is why you can transfer ownership of a compact disc but not a downloaded MP3.

The most humorous part about the comparison is that it's meant to scare or guilt people into not copying software; however, the punishment for copying software is several orders of magnitude worse than the punishment for shoplifting. If you want a "free" game, your best bet is to shoplift. Worst case, you'll pay a small fine and have a misdemeanor on your record. If you copy the game, however, you could end up paying $150,000 per copy, spend a few years in jail, get gang raped, and lose your right to vote.

its absurd but its true
