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.

Its morally incorrect, but many things in this world are.

Mauritian government is calling for pirates consciousness. ::)

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

Absolutely. Damn microsoft.

as far as pirates serves my purpose its k
n the best part it suits my pocket too ! :P :D
-
not good... but due to the cost of original softwares most ppl then go for pirated stuff
-
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
-
as such it is not right
but the thing which are not right is to be done by us
this is the rule of the world
;)

when it comes to pirated software it depends
like there are softwares as mentioned above which are very expensive for people to buy but at the same time they need it too than piration is something that happens but now even if they are affordable people aren't ready to buy they would rather prefer the pirated ones which is definitely wrong!
-
Well, they say it's not right because they don't get as much as money they are suppose to. But but but, why do such softwares and games and music have to be so damn expensive ?
I be pirate forever. <3
-
I'm using pirated softwares and I will keep using them forever, and i wil keep using "0day" cracked software/pc games etc :P
and I <3 Skidrow, they r cracking my fav games :P
-
It's not morally correct. Two wrongs don't make a right, so just because the software makers are such douchebags that they can't produce in a more philanthropic manner, doesn't mean we as human beings make it a habit to hack the software. Want Adobe? Use Gimp. Want Windows? Buy a genuine laptop and don't let the cat 'do something' on it. :P Of course, I shouldn't be lecturing anyone for their attitude since I myself am guilty of using pirated software.
So, bottomline? :P I'm not qualified to criticize anyone and hence we're in a deadlock since most of us are guilty of taking the easy way out.

why shall i pay for Adobe, if I can get it for free? why?
Adobe Creative Suit CS 5.5 costs $2,599.
I went to there site, signed in with my adobe id, downloaded a trial version of the pack, went to my bestfriend google, and kindly asked him for a serial number for Adobe's Latest pack. Guess what, google gave me hundreds of serial numbers, and I have Paid 2 hours for downloading the pack, and 10minnutes for finding a serial number. :)
Another Example: I paid $38 for GTA IV EFLC, I can get it from internet too, but the price was good and affordable, so i bought it. :)
End of story :P
