Piracy, warez and You.

agree with all of the above posts...i mean there's not much to say..everyone is entitled to their opinion and if someone wants to get their apps for free then i say let them be..they're not hurtin anybody...

I still always say:

No money is lost when those who were NOT going to buy the software to begin with end up using a crack. Actually, it helps the company because the user might spread the software's popularity.

I'm game with this to an extent, though disagree with some areas... Complex GPS programs (that cache data locally on disk and hence have to pay for maps) aren't things easily written...

Somebody sells a $250 turn by turn GPS program? Do tell, send me a link, I'm not convinced.
