RE:<At least you acknowledge that pirating is theft, and you don't pretend to be doing the software publishers a favor by pirating.> It's not a theft if it's for maintaining your knowledge on SW evolution. It's ridiculous to pay for Office if you write 2 or 3 letters per years using Office. Many SW are priced for commercial-environment usage. About Asian wild spread pirating, Bill Gate ever said it's not important; what's important is they chose MS products in pirating... Pirate are the most credible marketing tool for SW builder. I can swear you that I have gave my OK to some SW buying to business relation, those buying representing a lot more $ than what I would have bought myself if pirating was not possible. And in no way I would recommend a SW I haven't tried. HW and SW are highly related. If pirating was not possible, how many less AMD or Intel computers would have been sold? etc etc ... Gottfried
