no no, I think you have misunderstood.. I do not feel any guilt. I know I should... But alas it is not there.
I feel about as much guilt for my cracked software as I do for occasionally j-walking.However, just because one does not feel guilt for something does not mean that they are unaware of the law.

word, that said, personally i feel the only people obligated to avoid piracy in every case are businesses. from one business man to another, it's a level of respect as much as it is legal.

agree with you on that one vena.
human as human i guess

yes, praying to your god is a great way to lessen the guilt. Praise the lord.

i don't think you need to always feel bad for doing something wrong, it's just when people start trying to cop out of admitting they did something wrong that i'll start calling people jackasses :)

i think software piracy is wrong
but i also think it is very hard to avoid it... kudos to those who do

I have probably a 50 /50 ratio of purchased and warez. The warez I usually buy for a few bucks from my friends out east.
I know I should feel bad... I just don't. Rest assured though, I beg for fogiviness of my god at least once a week.

it's borrowing until you feel guilty.

was it an expensive bike?

if someone gave you a bike that you knew was stolen is that stealing?

nothing makes me smile wider than when people try to justify the wrong things they do.
if you do it, admit it's wrong and have some fucking backbone. don't play little moral games to make yourself feel better. unless you live in some dream land, nothing is free and taking something that isn't free without paying for it is wrong, end of story. if you're all bent out of shape because you can't afford that special piece of software to be like your webernet idol, tough luck. there's many alternatives from cheap to free.

exactly, you kind of need to try it and realise you NEED it before you start paying big ££ for it. of course there are educational licenses though...
dont talk to me about student credit cards. just managed to pay the biggest one of mine off, first time in 2 years!
