software piracy rules!!!! i think all this crack down stuff is bull
sh@t . the music and movie industy say they're losing millions of dollars every year from file sharing. its bull. then how can they pay all these crappy actors millions for one movie?

i dont really
steal music though because the artist suffers most. lets say
a band makes 7 million albums and the record company sells those cd's to different distibuters. they sell them for roughly 4 bucks a piece so thats 28 million dollars. now the record company gives the band a total 0f 4 points on each cd sold . each point is equal to one cent so they get 4 cents on every album. then depending on how many people are in the band they split that money. also they have to pay for studio time promotion,ect.ect. so in the end the musician dosn't make that much dough. then if he actually wants to trully own his or her music that person has to
buy publishing rights to their own f&@king music. so when amusician complains about audio piracy i sympathize.but when it
is those greedy record execs i say f&@k those greezy bastards.

as for software prices arent that bad considering all the work the programmers and scientists put into a program like maya.
theve dropped prices considerably now maya complete is about
$2000 and maya unlimited is $7000. this is alot cheeper than 4 years ago when maya complete was $15,000 and maya unlimited
was $25,000 and you also needed a special sgi workstation to
handle the program . but still im a poor bastard and i hate working so of course im going to download a $ 20,000 app. when i find it!!!! !
