i predict that most people here have only paid for games, since you need the code to play multiplayer.

I predict that your values are different than mine!

that depends, does opening a box and typing the cdkey in your phone considered pirating? :p

actually my vote should be changed, as probably more than 60% of the software I use is also freeware.

100% non pirated software.

I own no illegal software. Gotta love open source. I have only bought a few games too. Doom 3, UT2004, etc.

Now that's gotta be the worst of them all. If I buy a boxed game and the code entered comes back invalid I'd be some p1ssed.
I voted the last choice.

I recently felt very convicted to get rid of all of my pirated software so I formatted my hard drive and put on Ubuntu Linux. I have two drives, one for school and one for personal use. My school one runs windows because I'm taking some classes that require me to use windows for the software. The licensing is provided for me by my school for the windows and I have all open source on that drive. So I am using absolutely no illegal/pirated software.

My school offers software at dirt cheap rates.. $7 for Windows XP-pro, $13 for Office and the library also provides many software for free. So 100% legit here...

I have bought all the games that I play. Even if I have played pirated versions of them, I will still go out and buy the game if I like it.

As for other software, I don't really use the stuff enough to really justify paying for it. (like Photoshop)
