Why to use windows pirated software when i have all that i need free of charge in Linux.And at a much better quality. If i will ever choose to buy a windows software the total cost is 10000 euro for what i need , plus additional support for debugging and modification ( i get the answer after days or weeks). In Linux all that i need are upgrades-if i need.If i have a bug problem , i ask and in few hour i "v resolved the problem by my self or with others help .If i want to pay i prefer to make a donation to a software developer or to Red Cross instead to fill with cash the pockets of mob sharks like gates or buffet.They don"t give nothing back to the community.

My friend went to a big collage and he said that kids use pirated softwares all the time. In America it is very common. A lot of companys also buy 1 copy and use it on all the computers. I don't know how to use a lot of softwares though.

And what Record, or Software company do you work for?LOL
You cannot really expect a real answer in a PUBLIC forum except from people who don't know any better.
Of course this would be the easiest way to catch them. JUST ASK!!!! LMFAO

I did when windows3x was still the hottest boxed OS around. But reverted back up to Open Source (FSF) programs.
It is more enjoyable to share a program that one or 5000 have worked on so that it performs at peak CPU times with little or no Memory needed.
Was 1 program that I copied off another box, was a EULA on it, but it didnt say was illeagal to send to another networked box, so the corps missed their 3cents on that one.
That would equate to , considering overall CPU time, .002%

I used to but I found out the joy of open source with better free programs.
