Completly agreed Sebatianos.
I add that, if there are no cops around, and you are sure of it (on country roads and the like) you WILL speed and do things you are not permitted normally. Just bacouse you want to be free. It is normal though, becouse nobody likes to be squeezed beetween rules.
And yes, the forces of justice just don't punish the small time leechers. They only go for the big ones. The problem is here!
A whole industry is built upon software piracy. An organised, well maintained and flawlessly contolled industry. The cracking and warez groups have some very strickt rules and laws that every one of them obeys. They even have a rule book of some sort, I remeber reading it somewhere on the net. They are not just a bunch of pesky kids who do small time crimes. Not anymore. The pirating industry is almost bigger than the gaming and software industry in general. And they are completely undercover and working in cell system. If the law catches a cell(a group or a warez center), the members really DON'T KNOW who are the others on the market becouse they are completly anonym. You walk by big time pirates on the street every day, and you wouln't know who is it. I happen to know an ex-pirate, who is the CEO of a big software company here in Hungary :whistle: He told me lotsa interesting facts about this stuff. He qutted it long time ago(5 years) and he has a decent job. And he HAD a decent well paying job back then too.
The thing is, there will be piraci as long as there are softwares. And everybody will download free stuff, just becouse they are free. All sotware security systems can be cracked, all hardware securities can be faked and there will be a market for it.
