  In fact, the best way to eliminate software piracy is to give software away.
Yep, that is the ticket.  Quit all of this nasty charging for software!!
  What, you have children to feed and house payments to make?  What a shame,
but if you give your software away, you will not have any piracy...

  Excuse my sarcasm, but I am a little tired of people who have never had
to meet the development costs of a software project telling us that we
should price software in a particular way.  
  If you can't afford the software, then do without it.  There are many
things in this world that I would like, but cannot afford.  I do without
them.
