the only reason it is available for download is because several individuals put years of their life into working on it.
they deserve to be compensated for that time and effort if you think the program deserves your time and effort to put to use.
where the fuck do you think their money comes from?

I got a pirated copy of Photoshop CS (the latest that I know of) from school last year. A teacher gave it to me. Slipped it "under the table" and told me not to even lend it to friends.
CS is just more confusing, I agree with above poster, I get everything I need out of photoshop 7, that was enough. CS is for people who msoke too much meth

ugh
Ok, so you don't like the product and wouldn't consider buying it. Why listen or watch it?

Yeah well its my money, so i have no reason to suck they're cocks and donate my money to something i can just download. If all the software engineers, actors, and musicians think that everyone should be altruistic and donate money to them and make them rich, well then if they believe in altruism they should work for free.

There are lots of companies with govt contracts. This doesn't mean that the developers deserve their programs to be raped and cracked

They aren't asking for donations, they are asking you to pay for their product.

They are asking to pay for their products that are freely all over the net so therefore if you do pay for the product it is a true altruistic donation

I've been using gimp for a while now, photoshop prior to that and gimp may not have all the bells and whistles of photoshop but it is better than 80%+ of the pay software I've seen

Yeah, i was just talking about all the billions of dollars that are going to multimedia that is free on the net. The money could be going into such better things then hard copies of disposable digital media

So I can either grab a laptop that someone left on the table when they went to take a piss, which in the store is 1000, or go to the store and buy it. I'd be an idiot for paying, lol!

You're right, the media itself is worthless. Discs maybe cost a penny or two. But.....eh, nevermind You know exactly where I'm going with this, you seriously don't think this way, right?

I'm very ethical in all this though. I wouldint just steal your lap-top but if the debate continued on and on and you kept spending all your paychecks on movies and software i would probably steal your laptop.

well you aren't very logical, not everyone can get free stuff or nobody would create music or develop software

I think its very logical. I think everyone would still make great music and software if they really wanted to. Like I want to get a digital video camera and get some friends together and make some movies and put them up on a web-site. If the main objective for Microsoft is wealth and power and not for people to enjoy a great operating system then my motivation and everyone else motivation should be the same, and not to donate all their money to Microsoft's strive for power. I really don't see your logical point in just feeding everyone money that wants power and directing the economy in the wrong way.

Your videos wouldn't be as good as some of the movies out there...
I'm not a Microsoft fan, but, they make products that are run almost everywhere. They employ a shitload of people that don't work for free. Instead of giving them money for the sake of doing what's right (it's an added bonus, though) I('d) like to have a legit product that can receive updates and support.
the license for xp pro is just over a hundred, which really isn't bad.
Bottom line, though, is that I do download pirated shit. And I feel bad when I talk about it at work (software company ) since people just like my coworkers (I'm an intern, so...I make significantly less - hence my justification for downloading) are getting stolen from.
