pirating software is so easy i dunno why companies even bother with copy protection anymore.

Because 99.9% of the asshats of the world couldn't break the copy protection they use without some hacker group doing it.

windows & office bought from student store
have a few legit copies of nero (from buying optical drives) but im using a pirated version---no net thievery exacted upon them!

the rest is 90% free/shareware.. and 10% pirated

If I have any pirated software installed on anything I'd be surprised, I no doubt have some copied cd's around here somewhere though.

Same here, but that doesn't mean everything on my comps are legal... :Q

yeah, the poal doesn't accomodate for people who use open source (i.e. people who chose to use open office instead of p1|2at3 office xp/2003)

Problem is I sometimes still prefer pirated version over the student store version. I dunno. Right now I'm running legit copies on my laptop. Especially when my roommate stole my XP cd. I told him he could hav ehte pirated version, but he took MY LEGIT version and activated it (idyot). Now I feel scared everytime I have to call MS to explain why I need to reactivate (considering I reformat like once every few months). In this case, a pirated version of windows would be easier to install...

As for games, I have a shelf full of games. Legit.

I have all legis stuff, except Photoshop, because it costs $600, doesn't work in Linux, and if I has that much money to spend on photography, I would buy more lenses for my D70. I have a lot of Open Source stuff (Ubuntu + apps) too. I don't game much anymore, so I would actually buy a <$300 Photoshop CS2 for Linux so I don't have to dual-boot.

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

screen cap it instead?

Does freeware and shareware count?
