Well, if the police or whatever finds out, you might be breaking the law cuz buying pirated goods is buying stolen stuff, and you might go ta jail. (i think.)

Bootleg pirate copy from China. Or maybe trade something of value for it.

Do you want another opinion?\nSay *no* to piracy!\nFirst because it is not correct to do so and second because it is easy to find you with new type software.\nWhy do you want to take the risk?\n\nKaterina

Use a trial or BUY it.  Pirating software is illegal, and only serves to drive the price up higher.

Call microsoft, I know they are very concerned about piracy so you may have a difficult time with this, my first response would be to call microsoft and ask what they suggest.

My best advice is to stay away from DRM as you would from a barrel that says "warning: radioactive material" and is leaking. DRM is nothing but Big Brother's (i.e. RIAA, MPAA, big music/video companies) control over what rights you have and especially DON'T have.\nJust buy "plain old" CDs, rip them to mp3 and listen to your heart's content (giving copies to others may be illegal though).

Piracy of any kind is always advantagious to the recipient, but if piracy were made legal - the creators and designers of software/movies/games etc. would recieve no money, and therefore would stop making thier product.\nAs long as piracy is illegal, designers are forced to achieve the highest quality in thier field in order to compete in the market place.

Of course it won't - there is a lot more than just software sold on the site - and no they won't be fined. They are the ones who catch many of the software pirates using their facilities

So what you're telling us is that you're gonna violate copyright laws and send an illegal copy of the program to people so that they can get arrested for software piracy. Is that right?\n\nNo thanks

Probably can, but please don't. It's theft, pure and simple and just makes prices on DVDs higher for everyone else who obeys the law.

Well, for some things, like music and stuff, yeah it's stealing. But the p2p programs aren't wrong in themselves, they're very useful for distributing legal software and stuff. That said, thinking that it's sort of stealing hasn't really stopped me from getting the music off every computer I can on our network at my college, so I guess maybe I could just be a bad person.
