You'll end up as slaves.
By pirating software you destroy the small companies and encourage big companies
that can make money from somewhere else anyway.
In the end you'll be the slaves of these big companies.
If you are using a pirated word processor everyday, be aware that some day there
will be only one company selling a word processor: a company that makes money
from other sources (operating systems, where the manufacturers have to pay one
for each sold computer, for example).
When there will be only one company left on the market, this company will be
able to impose real serious software protection systems (each computer will have
a physical key reader, and every software will be provided with such a key).
And they will suck the last drop of blood out of you.
It's the well known story of the trojan horse. You become addicted to all the
software you can copy, exchange and so on.
You are currently in the phase of education: they educate you to consume
software. You are allowed to copy. When you are educated enough, be sure that
you'll become real consumers. And you'll pay.
Only one way to escape this: learn to develop your own software, and organise
the counter attack. But you will not. There is no interest for you to develop
software in your country, because maybe your own brother will copy it and sell
it for nothing.
You understand? You are killing yourselves!
Have a nice day. Write this down and read it again in 20 years.
