Needless to say, it's extremely rude to call some people pirates
because they rent software. Libraries rent books, video stores rent
movies. Video stores rent Nintendo carts, which contain software.

In short -- piracy is an issue you deal with by educating users, not
by insulting legitimate businesses.

Btw, gcc is not a C++ compiler. g++ is a C++ compiler. gcc's feature is
that it's ANSI C.
