Software piracy like growing a tree?

Well, with trees, you can just pick up a seed and plant your own tree for free, or you can buy a tree from the store..

With software, you can just copy the code and have your own software for free, or you can buy it from the store..


What's the dealio?

 

yeah you can just get it free if you want but its illegal ofc.

 

I'm not sure where you're going with this thread, and the above response is terrible ^

Of course, Piracy has grown into a large network, but that is only because we've been given the means to do so via the internet. We've come along way from recording the hit songs off the radio onto cassette.

Is that what you're getting at?
