Well, I agree that the right thing to do is to purchase any software you REALLY can't do without...
But, on the other hand, I also know that if some of the MAJOR software mfgs, like m$, and nortun, would LOWER their prices, then more people could actually afford to buy the stuff legally..
After all, at $299.00 for a full copy, how many more copies of XP would be legally acquired if the price was $29.99?
Its the unbridled GREED that MAKES people want to lash out against the software companies..After all, MOST of the public doesn't NEED a copy of AUTOCAD for $599.00...But can the average "Joe" own a PC without Windoz on it? Of course not.
Hopefully, the above mentioned companies will take a look at the profits they make, and come to realize they will make more money in the long run, by lowering prices, and therby reducing piracy and "lost sales"..
Just my .02...
