actually, no, i don't.
i buy cd's, and then rip them to mp3 for personal use on my box at work.
still illegal, yes, but i did pay for the music.
i've never believed in pirating software or downloading music...for more than just the 'goodie goodie' reasons.
when you download mp3's it takes up gobs of hdd space...i'm a clean freak with system structure...i hate useless shitcluttering up my box...and with warez...you don't know what the cracker had actually done to the piece of software you're downloading and using.
most of the time, this is how trojans get slipped onto machines and then your box becomes just another clone...
i don't like taking that risk.
i continue to pay for my software and other things....if i can't afford it, i find an open-source alternative.
as a developer, programmer and former designer, i absolutely hate the fact that so many people rape others hardwork.
