...piracy is illegal and not okay. obviously.

not enough money to buy software? or you don't want to spend it? your problem! do you also go to a store and steal stuff if you don't have enough money? do you break into houses to get what you need? this stuff is not allowed.

You're just saying it because you have to.

With that money I could buy an epic gaming PC

You would have a very shabby gaming PC for 1000 euro. My rig costed me nearly 2000 euro. ( )

Ok, take the epic off. There are some good PCs for gaming under 1000€ (500-900), at least they're better than mine. -.-
Or with that money I could buy the latest hardware for my. Like more RAM and stuff, which I wouldn't mind. :

Your point is made. I agree Photoshop's price is WAY over the top, though it does have more features than a fold up bike.

To the stuff about photoshop being over expencive you have to remember that this is a profecianal product ment for use on commercial exploits, If you don't need to use it for work related stuffery then there is really no need to buy(or pirate) it.

The are free image manipulators that do almost everything that it does.

Also there are no real excuses for piracy, the main one that comes up in my expiriance is that I'm not payin that much for a game, or I don't really want the game that much anyway. Which both are idiotic.

If you dont want to pay that much, then don't buy it, it's that simple. Your life isn't going to end because you don't have the latest game. If you didn't really want it anyway then why pirate it, I saw someone on the newest trailer for farcry 3 saying that "I'm tired of ubisoft forceing this crap down my throuht, day 1 pirate for me", which I have to say is a fucking idiotic statement.

Yea, so Pirateing is illegal, and while it is not theft, under most laws it comes under copywrite infringment. So its just as bad, if not worse.

though I agree w/ both of u guys I still pirate things. Piracy is one of those things that is just meant to be here you can't take it away, it will always come back stronger, it will always stay. There's just no fighting piracy, it's here to stay.

Thats not true, It is not ment to be here for one. The fact that people are activly trying to stop it is proof of that. And it will not always be here.

People all around the word are trying new ways to combat piracy, and while it will still be around for a long time, it will eventually be stamped out.

One anti-piracy mesure I like is game streaming, this is something that I have been looking into, because It has the distinct advantage of which a lot of other mesures don't, your computer is not playing the game.

Even with the best encryption methods with modern data the fact is that eventuall the program has to be decoded and passed though your system, which means even with the best system of preventing piracy the code passes right though your hands. But by having the game run on a different system this is avoided, they are just sending you images instead of code.

So yea, look up videogame streaming, it's probably going to be the future of gameing.

nope, a law is currently being made to force isps to monitor people's activity on the web

It's just like stealing, if it's not legal in real life why would it be legal online?
