I'm on the same page as roswell1329:
Before I discovered linux, yes, I did use some* software that I didn't purchase.
But since I've found linux, I have no need to use pirated software.
At home, I use linux for everything that I can.
I use m$ at work, and I can get the company to pay for whatever software that I want. (within reason)
Most of the software that I do buy is games. I won't use cracked/priated games, cause then it is a lot harder to play online and you don't get all the stuff that you would if you got it boxed.
But, when I did use pirated software, I just thought of it as trial. I couldn't see going out and spending 100s of dollars on software that I was only going to use for a semester and then just let it sit and collect dust. It was either, download the evaluation editions and uninstall it, clean the registry and then reinstall it every thirty days, or install the cracked version and use it for a couple of months, then uninstall it forever.
Like I said, linux has solved all that for me. So, nah, the only thing I upload now to p2p networks are a couple of my firends bands who have given me permission to put them on there. I've been surpirsed at how many people actually DL thier music without knowing who they are anyway!
Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.
