Lines: 14 I would just like to point out (again) that software pirating is a catch 22 and that people are much more prown to pay for a product when it is affordable. I do not condone pirating but most software is so outragiously expensive (due, in part, to pirates), that it makes pirating very attractive to many. And no, I myself, do not pirate software.
