I can tell you that for sure about myself. > >pavs Ok I will trow up a ball about software piracy. It is not only bad it also has his good sides. (It is basicly ment for the poor people Why would you otherwise want software which could be corupted? or you have the change pieces from the software are left out) At least most people would not want it if they can afort a real copy! It is also for this reason why the market does not realy disbenfits from it The people who download the piracy many times are the people who otherwise would not have bought Or could not have efort the product Unfortunetly this is not always the case And for this reason you could vote against piracy They even could check how your finacial situation is before giving you the permision to download something. And legalise it! And also not looking it only from 1 side Like the hypocracy from Microsoft First stealing everthing they can grap and then start complaining that other people do the same. And they still make money enough (Again otherwise my vieuw would have been diferent!) He Bill gates is the richest man of the world! It is even worse if your against piracy you actualy have the philosphy of keeping the rich rich and the poor poor. Not giving poor people a change with otherwords back to the 1800's So this philosphy is also against the American dream! While the US gouverment has tried many things to avoid this For instance By givving many people a computer. So they would not come behind in their development! But you can't do much with a computer without software can you? I am intrested in the answers from the programmers. Regards Marc
