I’m sure you must have seen all sorts of blog posts which say that Piracy isn’t good and that one should not indulge themselves into piracy at all. But I’ll say do it! It helps a lot of people! Look around and you’ll see that how piracy has helped many companies. Can’t think of any ? well, the answer is (most likely) the company behind your operating system, yes I.e. Microsoft! There are numerous examples : Adobe, Symantec etc.

Piracy has helped them become the no. 1 software company and the most used operating system ever built and who knows if this idea came from the redmond based company itself.

Well, another example was seen recently when Eric D. Wilkinson (producer of a small independent film called Jerome Bixby’s The Man From Earth) thanked one of the Piracy loving blog ReleaseLog, for posting the movies’ Torrent link!

So, don’t feel guilty of using that pirated software ! However, as a gentleman I’ll say don’t use it, at least pay for the software which gets you bread and butter as that software is the bread and butter of those people who made it!
