Question 13 was a nuisance though; there are no reasons for me to stop pirating.Grrr | Pieter Lootsma | Hamilton, NZ | grrr@orcon.net.nz

Keep 'em comin'! I only need 15 more responses to max out my survey!"Every time I have to make a tough decision, I ask myself, 'What would Tom Cruise do?' Then I jump up and down on the couch." - Neil StraussComment

Done.
The survey is deficient. The only time I ever pirated software was in the 1980s when everyone in my country who had the same computers did. The reason was that you couldn't actually find the damn programs to buy as no-one supplied them.
Lack of supply was the problem, not morality or the cost of software.
I haven't had an illegitimate piece of software since then IIRC. Having said that I have made backups of my stuff and if the man wants to call that illegal he can stick it where the sun don't shine.Only feebs vote.Comment

A lousy one...
..I guess one who can afford the small amount of software he buys. If I can't afford something I really want, there is usually a free version available (like the GIMP).Only feebs vote.Comment

Agathon: Thanks for your response. I didn't think of lack of supply as a possibility. I don't think it's ever been a real issue here.
Sava: It looks like Agathon's in the majority as far as thinking it's OK to make unauthorized back-ups. I guess that makes the majority commies!

Isn't there something in the law that says that you're allowed to make backups (for own use) ?This space is empty... or is it?Comment

It's kind of difficult when you have CD copy protection. You need cracks in those cases, which are illegal."Every time I have to make a tough decision, I ask myself, 'What would Tom Cruise do?' Then I jump up and down on the couch." - Neil StraussComment

The problem with copy protection is that it doesn't stop pirates, but just annoys the hell out of regular customers.
The worst scheme ever was Lenslok. Anyone remember that?Only feebs vote.Comment

Oh Xorbon. I guess that supply isn't a big deal any more, but it certainly was 25 years ago when I got my first home computer.Only feebs vote.Comment
