The average person I meet doesn't even know how to change their screensaver, let alone figure out how and where to obtain programs illegally and then install it.
Of the people that DO know how to perform these acts, and yes I know that there are a plenty, even if the average person I meet is computer illeterate there are still plenty left who aren't...
But of the people who can perform these actions, still yet another large portion of them refuse to for either moral reasons or fear of legal repurcussions.
Still others refuse to pirate software because they want to support the program designers and industry.
I've just seen as of late a general consensus that *everyone* is getting Rybka and Fritz and other commercial programs for free and that there is a huge cut in their profits because of it.
Although I'm sure there are a large amount of people who download these products illegally, I'm not convinced it's a high percentage of the overall amount.
Maybe I'm just being naive! But have the rest of you really lost that much faith in humanity?
