Do you have to feel guilty about pirated software?

It is definitely not so "right" to do so, but as many have pointed out, original software are just too expensive. I did use pirated software, must have started to phase out one by one, and replaced them by open source or freeware alternatives. My computer is almost 'clean' now....and I am not feeling too guilty anymore....:)

all most all of the software i am using has been directly download from internet....I don't want to go for software whose cost are high when I am getting it for free......It is now a common practice ...who can afford original software while we are getting it for free....

Until I read your post, I had never think of whether I would feel guilty or not by using pirated softwear. and as a matter of fact, most of the softwears using on my computer are download directly from Internet. I think there's nothing right or wrong, real softwears just too expensive for some people to afford, as long as pirated version is as good as genuine version, and everybody do this way, why should we feel guilty? I think it has become a common practice to use pirated softwear.
