Yeah but for software you want it to work and sometimes need help, when you steal that software you are often on your own. In open source, there is nearly always an open alternative that comes with community support!

I mean, the only time I've used official support for some software was when I was having a license issue with Windows. Everything else has been solvable using the open internet.

The reason why I don't pirate software anymore is you have no idea if the people who cracked it added malware or not and it's, IMO, a perfect way to deliver malware.

I abuse free trial and surprisingly it works really well
