    The illegal discussions run deep in this thread.... you guys a stupid for downloading anything really. Unless the author clearly states its free. I get ALL my stuff legit, because Im not going to jail over a freaking computer!

    My sentiments exactly. Most of the people here could recieve student discounts on software like I do, and not have to worry about warez, or the troubles involved with them. Viruses, worms, trojans, yada yada yada, jail time; not worth the risk IMO. Be careful kiddies.

    This reminds me of the RIAA's campaign. I think P2P usage went up since they started that bs.

    Yeah - Ill ususally buy legit when i got alot of cash but if its like a several hundred dollar program...anyways this is all about the money and the industry.

    Make the corporations happy, thats it. Besides, the more publicity it gets, the more users will pop up. Its a pointless struggle to shut it down.
