Wow thats a close minded attitude. I have pirated music, after which I found I really like some artists and so I bought the cd. == sales$! but I also found I hated some of the new music and deleted it.
You will never stop piracy nor should you. It's free advertising. You will always have a few who will never buy anything, and if they can't get it because of DRM they move on. But you will also have those of us that find we love a product and go buy it.
Being right or wrong is merly your perception of this issue. It's your morals and it may differ if you were in a different society.
I'm not saying its right or wrong just that you have a very close minded view on the subject.
Actually I have a friend that worked at Intel and their project was to start designs on an entirly new pc, new case, board, power supply and cpu. I dont know the ins and outs of it but that was 4 years ago so who knows whats coming.
We all though Apple was dead and out too. And now look at them. It sounds like it is house cleaning time and a change of direction. The OpenGL standard is nice but really out dated. If a company created a real time ray tracer (RTRT) they could pomel the raster graphics erra. But this is just my opinion.
I have to agree that it would be easier to steal my whole laptop and probaly more profitable. My only concern if you break into my laptop, either via networking stupidity on my account or that you are really talented, is that please just copy what ever usless porn or emulators you want. But dont destroy anything!!! I dont keep sensetive material on my portable systems. So who cares!
