Gimme a break, willya? These guys own Ferraris. It's not like they're
starving or anything...
This whole piracy deal is part of doing business in the software industry.
It's been going on for years. The programmers know it, and so does
everyone else. Of course, it doesn't justify all the money that the
industry is losing every year (whatever the ridiculous amount it is), and
it doesn't make piracy right, but it's a fact of life. There are people
in this world who will not pay for something if they don't have to. They
know that it's wrong, but they don't care.
Of course, they ARE morons for telling the world that they own some
pirated copies. :)
