Last time I went into a music store...

No one held a gun to my head to purchase whatever it was at the time. I chose to buy it and they agreed to take my money. When you pirate, they did not choose you to take it so that is called stealing in any other industry. You have to look out for yourself and if a software company welched on their warranty, well that is up to you. Welching is stealing by not honoring your end of the deal. But the Warez dudes got even a 1000 times over. Since proprietory software is such garbage, it sure is stolen the most.

You Jeff are the ultimate in sinisterness and are damn proud of it. You remind us here on this website quite frequently.

I tell you why I would stick up for them. Because they pass the cost of doing business on to me. Just like thieves make Home Depot pass the cost on to me when I purchase whatever. Not to mention my stock goes down.
