All software I have at present is legit, I like it that way and appreciate having a fully working licensed copy of which I can obtain support if need be form the manufacturer. Though I wont say that I have never infringed upon copywright in certain ways before. I have downloaded MP3's and the odd movie here and there. Also, I do myself earn from media production and have witnessed a lot of people ripping off my stuff thorughout the years.
Though if I had a say in wether any one of these people were to go to jail or not then I would say NO, as in this digital day and age it's pretty much the unavoidable nature of things and often a double edged sword too, which can both serve to promote as well as undermine any artistic or engineering endevours.
Perhaps a new thread for this age ol debate?
