Okay, here's the deal the way I see it. In general, I can't afford games
software. I buy budget titles sometimes (most recently Dark Forces) and
on a very rare occcasion, I buy full-price games. I bought Quake, even
though I already had a pirate version. Why? Because I liked it, I wanted
to be able to install it at work and at home (but don't tell the boss
;->) and I wanted the soundtrack. I don't buy games unless I have
already played them and I like them. Personally, I think if something is
good enough, I'll buy it rather than pirating it (except for big,
ridiculously expensive apps like 3D Studio, which I only needed for one
project anyway and then dumped, rather than spending thousands on a
commercial version).

At the end of the day, I'm not _proud_ of pirating software. But as a
home user with a VERY limited budget, it's the only option I have, so
I'm not ashamed of it either. So there.

Ciao,
Robert
