I used to buy software on the chance that it might do what I want.
After a few wasted chunks of change, I either borrowed it from
somebody or (these days) bitorrent it in. But, like my music
downloads, if I like it, I buy it.
I don't take away money from creative people....I'd LOVE to screw the
record companies out of their cut, but you can't without robbing the
artist as well. I know way too many people who need their residual
cheques to feed their families.
And do you know what really burns my ass?
