Yeah, in the perfect world we buy software thats good and everyone puts in their share. Ofcause its not, some choose to copy software and at the other end some software companies especially the bigger ones can sell software for high prices thats prety much a pile of dung and not worth it at all.

Hi, No there isn't really a particular reason, I haven't really though about it much. And no I cracked because, well I didn't know much about audiogames, and I know this sounds non-truthful, so people who were in my contact list, who will remain un-named, kept sending me things, so I just took them

Hi Michael, Quote On the face of it, piracy doesn't seem wrong because no physical goods are being taken. I think we're all still catching up to the new digital world we live in. We have a hard time seeing the physical consequences of the act and that has allowed piracy to become as pervasive as
