Give the OP a break because he's got a point. No misunderstandings I download too since I'd be dumb to pay what others don't but sometimes I'm afraid to see that the economy won't recover... Ever. Entire industries might collapse from the everything for free mentality. In the end of the day you'll lose your jobs too if the negative spiral extends to other industries. When I was young I wanted to be a programmer and create a startup but when open source started to really pick up I had second thoughts and opted out. I don't understand these idealists who code entire packages for free. They still need to pay rent and eat and need a job doing something else while they could simply have been paid to do what they love. It's absurd.
Is it normal to know that internet piracy is treason?
