gotta love those hypocritical, monopolizing capitalists...most of them are quite rich, go figure :nut kick:
a user of pirated software is likely to purchase software from the same maker at some point down the road

The reason I love the internet: Free stuff!!!

Or at least relatively cheap when one joins a newsgroup...15-25 bucks for either 20gb or unlimited downloads, respectively, and you can download, say a $5,000 CAD program, the cost/benefit ratio becomes ever greater.

Pirates: ARRRRRRR we be takin' your software mateys!
M$: No you don't! ACTIVATION FTW!
Pirates: *cracks activation*
M$: HAX! *makes activation more of a b-tch than it already is*

Years later...(2007)
M$: If you have to steal stuff, please pirate Microsoft software.
