I can see this could turn into a Mac vs PC. Which is not the intent and no I am not saying PC users are all into piracy.
I seen a few videos on youtube and some articles around the net, saying the piracy is just so rampant in the PC world. Lot of these people argue that it is just the PC mentality in lots of people to steal software. I do not totally agree with that.
Though as a new switcher to Mac, i must admit that the apple community seem more into actually buying apps and software as opposed to stealing it. Just my impression of majority of mac users.
Then on the other hand, most people into piracy are teenage idiots. What are your thoughts on this issue. Personally as somebody who wants to perhaps be a software engineer someday, i see piracy as no different than stealing from a physical store and i buy all my apps. If I can not afford software then I like many others, save up and buy it. Piracy puts developers out of jobs. Yet near everybody gets away with it.
