Like several other people have said, I pirate because I can't afford the software. It's simple as that. If I wasn't able to pirate the software, I still wouldn't buy it, because I'm poor as fuk. Companies are not loosing 1 dime by me pirating software because they wouldn't be getting it anyways. That's how I justifty my piracy. And it makes complete sense to me.
If I did have enough money to spare for software, I would probably buy some of it, but a lot of software that I have on my computer I very rarely use, so really I can't much justify spending hundreds of dollars on something that gets very little use. Especially if the use is only for 1 week or something, as many programs end up getting, because I find out that they suck.
When I've watched a movie I've downloaded that I've really liked, I have gone to the theatre to see it and/or bought the DVD. I assume if I could afford it that if I found a good peice of software that I pirated, and I really liked it and used it a lot, I would also buy it if I could afford it. I can't, though.
