'pirated' software is not stolen software. it is simply commercial software that has been shared. intellectual 'property' is not property. there is no theft. copyright infringement is only a crime because of laws enacted at the behest of corporate behemoths like Disney, and is NOT a crime in many parts of the world. the USSA is *not* the heart of the earth, nor are her laws morally correct in all cases. you are a fool for believing in the american system.
In our world, we are moving towards garbage collection. It rocks. The simple truth is that C-style memory allocation is well understood, sub-optimal, and obsolete. Well honed algorithms beat brute force in almost all cases...
ahh.. do you have any experience optimizing applications for performance? i thought now. GC is the way of the future? i'll believe that little tidbit when the Honourable John Carmack starts coding in Java. you, fool, wouldn't know a well-honed algorithm from your own well-worn asshole. do you even know what brute force is, in this context? (not talking about homosexual gang-rape perpetrated on imbeciles like yourself)

you're a complete fuckwad, obviously, if you don't get the difference between theft and copyright infringement. you're trebly the fool by virtue of your false ethical sensibilities that underscore a complete lack of understanding of the world you live in.. people don't "steal" software, they share it. then they use it, sometimes even learn how to use it well enough so that they can make a living with it, and end up paying for the legitimate rights to use that software for business purposes. "Piracy" is an important part of the perfect software circle, and it contributes to monopolies to make our world better.
It may be legally stealing to use pirated software
umm.. no, actually, it isn't stealing.. it's merely copyright infringement. whole 'nother matter entirely. in other news, "intellectual property" isn't actually property unless an idea can belong only to one person in the world (or licensees) at a time. it's an artificial construction, mate. think you should educate yourself, first, then enlighten these retards.
hey buddy you seem a little self-important yourself.. judging others as thieves without any understanding of theft itself seems a bit presumptuous, if you take my meaning. using a piece of Microsoft software, even unpaid for, does not make one a thief.
there's a world of difference between THEFT and COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT you fucking jackass
