The problem is that we live in a world of law. Law is an attempt to equalize
conditions for all people such that they are more fair (at least that is the
theory), correct, and just. When you try to rationalize software piracy, then
you take one step closer yourself towards wrong and away from right. Putting a
spin on a social problem that it is socially accepted does not in any way make a
social wrong more right. It just means that more people are willing to put up
with it or support it. It does not make it right.

It may be reality, but it is still wrong, no matter how you slice it.

And it personally bothers me when someone posts a message that says that they
know how to crack some form of security on a software product and if anyone
wants to know how, just send that person an Email. This definitely modifies my
opinion of that person and not for the better.
