100% Legal Software?
Do you use any software that is not 100 percent legal (warez, cracks, etc.)?
I am aware of the other thread below, but this poll is about all software applications; not just operating systems. Also, it's simplier to see the results with only three possible answers.
The other Thread: Is your software legal

what is legal software? I download all of mine legally, cos if it was illegal, I wouldn't be able to download it, right? Like I couldn't fill my tank with gas without paying for it.

Huh? That makes little sense taz..... I truly fail to see the logic there. You are attempting to argue that downloading non free software is somehow akin to paying for gas?

If I did use pirated stuff, I wouldn't admit to it in an open forum.  | |

Using your analogy, the best one I can come up with is dressing up as Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell or Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid, and parking your car next to the gas station, drilling a hole in the pump, and sucking the gas out of the dispenser. Anyone else got a better one?

Nope
I dont use illegal or pirated software. All my software (including my OS) are all 100% Legal. I dont have the need to use illegal software since I have the bucks to spend on what I really need. Even my Photoshop is totally not fake (although I got it very cheap at the internet). I really dont like the thing with illegal stuff since the words say it all. Although I must agree that sometime I have got the feeling like "Its so expensive!, Im just going to download it from Kazaa!" but I try to control me since I know its not the best thing to do. Also that pirate software can have problems and give you issues. My friends cant believe I dont have any pirated software, but after seeing my friends OS run extremely slow after downloading a pirated Office XP, or a Virus full Photoshop I am glad to have never downloaded or got any pirated stuff. But I am totally with the idea of the Open Source community though. I use Kazaa Lite, dont take me wrong, but never to download software, only for Music (Videoclips from bands also). yes, I am against pirating, but against communities such as free Linux OS (Open Source) I dont have anything against./
