O_o Well, i can't really say that i'm all that surprised with the results lmao... most software these days are overpriced, and barely half of them do the job that they are claim to be excellent at. Most just crash good lol...
I'm like a major pirate >_> i get warez, because:
a. I can't afford it, especially coz i use software like photoshop and 3d Studio Max..
b. I have broadband so why not? unlimited download quota whats more... abit of a waste if i used it all up on anime alone =P
c. Most of the programs totally suck at what they claim to be good at. Take for e.g. Video Encoding programs. Most of them crash before they can even get encoding. Even if it did encode properly, quality will be shithouse. So right now even freeware (VirtualDubMod) works SOOO MUCH BETTER >P
d. Games. How many times have trailers decieved u? how many times were you not able to find the game you wanted in the shop. How many times have games crashed before u could even play them. Yeah, its cruel, but i download games as well, buy them only if they're worth it, i.e. i bought Battlefield 2 and Expansion coz i thought they were awesome, and i own a copy of HL2 to play CSS online =P
I'm sure i got alot more reasons to cough up, but thats all i'll say for now lol
