836314 2009-12-05 00:10:00 It would be very interesting to see here who has a legit copy of PS or other expensive software that they use for personal use. I've sold a couple of legit copies to customers ( and I mean a couple - its expensive software) - as well as the student versions of Photoshop C4 Extended (www.adobe.com) to students that have a student ID. The RRP on that is $258.00 (NZ) - All Legit (www.adobe.com).

Mind you some people also say its to expensive, so I suggest Gimp as a free option.

836315 2009-12-05 00:14:00 My personal opinion on it is that a lot of the illegal movie downloading (for example) that I see would fall into the same category as Abandonware; i.e. it is still technically illegal to obtain it through torrents, but a DVD has never been released, and you can't buy it on VHS anymore. So if it wasn't for fans of a certain genre (say Italian horror movies), the movies would no longer be available for people who enjoy them.

As movie buffs, they'd be more than happy to pay were the movies available, and the web is the perfect distribution channel.

836316 2009-12-05 00:26:00 Can I just say that the argument that"I would never pay for it anyway so its not theft" Is the biggest wank ever, and has zero logic.

Its just people trying to justify having something they have no right to.

836318 2009-12-05 04:02:00 There will be many who will jump up and down and protest. Provided you buy your stuff online legally then what have you got to worry about? Only those who are doing the illegal downloads will be the one's who be may be worried.

How many time have I heard that from some fascist group wanting to control things?? Hitler most likely used the same reasoning for the suppression of people in Germany..
