Piracy, warez and You.

[tbhausen]

As a small business owner doing Computer Aided Design, this is a simple issue for me. The software we run (SolidWorks) is expensive--damn expensive. Annual maintenance os over four figures per seat. And we have two seats to care and feed for. Could it be pirated? Probably. Would I even investigate doing so? No way... way too much on the line for us. So paying say, $20, tops for a PPC app is simply a no-brainer. It's all about the law, fair compensation for fair effort, and doing the moral and right thing.

Try the software, know the price, and if you think it's worth it, buy it. Period.

JMHO,
