[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 567102, member: 21101"] You're probably right, that's what happens, but it's still completely wrong. Just because something is expensive, doesn't make it morally more acceptable to pirate it. If people don't value something enough to pay what it costs, they should not have it, even if it is not worth what is being asked for it. If you see something on the market for a price you're not willing to pay, you don't pay it and you don't have it - you can't steal it and say, 'well you know it should have been cheaper' I hear this argument about MS products all the time, but they just don't stand up to any scrutiny. If people don't want to pay for Vista Ultimate, they should buy Vista Basic, or XP or use Linux (which is free) or maybe get a Mac next time. If someone cannot afford a Porsche, you don't say it's ok to steal it, you expect them to by a Ford or a Toyota. [/end rant] :Smirk: [/QUOTE]
