Is it right to use pirated softwares?
« on: November 08, 2010, 01:47:57 pm »
I know, almost all of us are using/have used pirated softwares (eg. Pirated copies of windows).  But still, lets call for a discussion on this topic.

So, is it right, to use pirated softwares?

In my opinion, its not right. I'll elaborate later, but please continue this debate.

Some ppl argue that a software being overpriced is morally incorrect as well. But... moral vs moral...

Well.. I personally disagree on using pirated software. But i'm still a student without any earnings on my own. So in most cases i'm still using pirated software(e.g. windows OS, adobe software, etc)
Well, it's not a good excuse, but my daily allowance here in Indonesia just doesn't cope up with dollar. It's too much different.
I personally am the person who respects copyright(if possible). But for now, only to those companies I respected so much. For example, I'm using original blu-ray disk for my PS3.. :p
Also, even though i've read a comic series on internet, I still bought the original comic print when it's available here. Again, this only applies to the author I respected.  ;D

Well.. on future if possible I would like to use original software than pirated one. It's just not satisfactory for me to use those.. :p
just my opinion.. ;D

i thinks thse software companies hav made enough profits already to last them a life time,
for example take windows they sell a single OS @ a price of about 400-500 US $
which would really cost them less than 2- 3 dollars to produce (i.e cost wise, ignoring the initial cost).
And most of all they take things from open source programs & use in their own software & sell it (this is stealing)!

so y not we steel from them ? :D
I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code. ;)
