Don't get me wrong. I've downloaded songs in the past without paying during the napstar days. Now I barley buy or download music since its all crap out there.

However, lets just be honest. Call a spade a spade. We are stealing and it is wrong.
Which is why if we like a program so much but don't want to pay for it, figure out the guts of the program, post the source code online, and let everyone work on it to build the program as FREE open source software.

That'll put a dent in the overpricing of certain software.
