Overture Search Terms Showcase Piracy Desire

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the most-popular-porn-stars dept.

I find it disturbing that more people searched for the crack for Flash Mx than for tutorials on how to use it."

    There's nothing new about this "news" article. We all know piracy runs pretty rampant on the net. We all know that many (including us), justify it by saying that
    • It's too expensive
    • I'm just using it for educational purposes
    • I wouldn't have bought it anyways


    People have been saying this since the mid-90s where we were downloading "warez" from BBS's.
