Your OS, tools, movies, musics.
How many of them are get legal authorization?
Please tell the truth.

As for me.
Half time I work under Linux, so my OS, tools is legal.
When I worked under windows, I use lot's warez tool(about 40%), the rest are freeware or shareware.
As for music and movie. I am not fans of music and movie,
maybe 90% of them are without copyright.
But in my laptop now, there is no music and movie.

games cost about $30 to $100 per title over here in Singapore....if all my games were original...I would have to rob the bank...

I usually test a program's worth by getting a bootleg copy first to train with. When it proves to be useful and worth the money, then I eventually buy it (legal one). That way I won't end up with overpriced junk on my hardrive.

There's no denying however that real programs are too damn expensive for average guys like us and comes with all the legal horseshit dictating us what we can do with it even after we paid for them.

I pirate sometimes with torents. I never use warez, I think it sucks... I only use torrents and P2P(Ares) to download software. Mostly I just buy it.

Assassin, where do you get your torrent files? Do you use Azureus to download them?

I can't believe it took me this long to find this thread. *closed*

Cut it with the warez talk.

I deleted the posts that link to the torrent search engines. People, what the fcuk, if you want to talk about this, do a google for some warez community sites, but not here.

Hey lol theres actually no reason to feel bad about it at all i mean why should they require us to have a lincence for the software we use and the painful part is that the lincence permits you to use the software only on one comp thats preety nasty so unless they change their policies we are gonna stick to pirated material.

Hey, guys, before we go any further in this thread, I'd like to remind everyone we are incriminating ourselves (especially those coming from the US) with our statements. Just a thought....but I still get pirated copies myself

ohhh no!! the pigs are watching!!

almost all of my software is illegal, i even had to change my windows xp key so i could make the updates

You're not the only one. That's why the software industry is losing lots of money every year due to people like you(or should I say 'us'?)

But anyway, who cares? They price their software at such a high price and no one will be willing to pay such a high price.

I think its not really wrong, but don't over do it and do it discretely....
