Sure. That's a GREAT IDEA!!! We will let YOU be the pirate police. You can personally go out and find EVERY piece of software that corperations are using to make money and make sure they have the proper licences. Make sure to document everything.


I suppose while we are at it, your car, food, house, computer and internet should all be free for home use too. Hell, why even get a job! It's all free!

</sarcasm>

You are stealing someone else's hard work. Do you work for free? No? Neither do programmers.




*grumble* Free software for home use my @ss. Dumbest damn thing I ever heard.
