Do you like using the pirate software?

I don't want to use pirated software, but it is to expensive. I cant afford to buy genuine softwares. Pirated ones are much more cheaper than the originals, but like other not genuine softwares you cant update the softwares to newer versions or get some plug ins. Eventhough their are some other way to make the pirated softwares appear genuine but still it is pirated. Now, I'm using the pirated software but if I have the cash to buy the unpirated ones, I'll buy the legal.

Pirating has proven to be benefical to alot of actors, musicians and musical artists. For instance, when you pirate an album, the only people you are stealing from are the record labels. Recording artists only receive a miniscual amount from the cut. However, when a broad range of listeners have easy and FREE access to their music, it is more likely that the listeners will come to live shows and buy merchandise depending on whether or not they like what they hear. How can they see if they like it, if they cant afford to listen to the music?

no one does piracy for their own good, they just do it coz the company brand prices are so high and the demand is so much ! Not everyone can afford the company's cd prices! and thats why piracy happens, Yes the company cannot drop their prices upto the prices of the pirated material but atleast somehow to stop it totally the companies have to bend down alot! Helpless people have to do piracy and stupid people make it say as a crime!
