Hmm...Someone mentioned pirates selling software.  *I've* never seen that
done.  Most of the unauthorized copying activity that I am privy to involves
no money at all.  None.  - but -  This has been entirely among non-business
types...
 
  Most of the users with "pirated" copies are hobbyists.  As someone else
mentioned, a business can't AFFORD to use pirated software.  However, the
hobbyist generally writes his own programs and participates in free exchange
of them.  It is almost second nature to treat commercial programs
likewise.
