Software piracy as it relates to the average user is tremendously overblown. I know people who have copies of programs because they were given to them to try. Now in effect, the powers to be call this a pirated copy. However, the person would not lay out the $300 or more to buy it anyways so it sits on the Hard drive and doesn't get used. It was just something to do. However, having said that, there is a very good chance that it a pirated copy of any software is any darn good at all, the user may then elect to buy at least an upgrade, so in effect, pirating is also a good thing..
It is very hard for me to believe so many people out there buy this crap as the truth. You got some very well educated people going on a space trip after years of training and then landing on the moon and you expect me to believe that they thought a passing craft could rescue me... Yeh give me a damn break. They knew right down to the last what could happen and if there was problem, it was all over. What do you sickies think would happen, that the deaths would be normal home viewing. Are you people beyond thinking?

But the good part doesn't make good press.
