Well, time for my $.02 worth:

Over the coarse of the last few years I have "obtianed" numerable copies
of pirated wares.  Many of these have been wares I already owned, but that
I wanted in Files to install on my Hard Drive (Pirates is a good example).
Others have been peices of software that I was considering buying, but was
unwilling to purchase with-out looking at first.  I have to offen been
burned by software that was not what it claimed.

My attitude is this -- If I really like a ware (e.g. Ultima IV) I will
purchase it anyway.  Many wares are not worth buying, and I don't use 
them (Gauntlet).  So yes, I pirate wares, but I =BUY= the ones I like, and
I don't use the ones I don't....
