Aureenna's right about people stealing software and not using it. At college, pirated software goes around more that VD. Most of the people there will never use the software. They just pirate because they can. Then there are people who who feel that software should be free. They work hard to break the law. StefyZZ recently had a run in with these type of people. They have no idea how much work goes into developing software. At college, when I was looking for a piece of software, I heard alot of "just download it off the net." By breaking up the people who distribute warez. They can cut down the amount of people who pirate. Now this is just a gripe. How come these warez sites never have bandwidth problems. If they are not going to pay for software, they most definately are not going to pay for the bandwidth to handle people downloading massive amounts of files.
