Personally as a writer of computer programs and as a photographer I am not keen on copyright violations, I have used dodgy versions of computer program's in the past to try them out but if I continued to use them I invariably paid for them.
If someone works their ass off trying to build something useful they deserve to get some consideration for their efforts.
Many software products and tools are sold really really cheap and when I see these getting cracked and ripped off I get angry, the guys are selling it that cheap because they are trying to be fair in the first place, I mean the stuff that sells for as little as 10 or 15 dollars a pop.
I've never been very interested in torrents.
(P.S. cute, the English version of ass gets filteredI would not have imagined it to be a very bad word Boss
