So... using that line of thought....
Is someone stealing (i.e.: NOT paying for it) computer software they want (but don't NEED in order to live) so they can do x, y, or z with it the same as a starving homeless person stealing food they need to live?

Be careful about your sources though...Ive personally seen friends get hit with fines after using a trap...its set up "To catch a predator style"...they put out a crack for bait and when the fishes bite...
the bill in the mail routine is also real
Id rather just use stuff free and clear these days...no sweat and you can get tech support!

no really along the same lines but kind of... all of my pc games are cracked. computer desk wise, im very disorganized. i hate having to scrounge around for a cd just to play a game that i havent played in forever. all the games are still on my harddrive why shouldnt i be able to access them? if i wanted to look for individual disks, i'd go to the living room and play ps2. (btw guitar hero 2 ROCKS!!)

El Rey....
It's a matter of ethics...some have it, some don't. Now, I'd say you're an inspiration to all of us...being a teacher and all.
I mean, my gosh, why would you admit to "stuff" like this, for anyone/everyone to read???
