Me? I'm an open-source advocate; I know that most software companies see warez and pirates as vermin, but there are times that companies do nothing but confuse the user or force him/her to comply with some sleazy license or a rather complicated app protection scheme. I have a friend of mine who got pissed off at the BSA for those raids in his workplace, even if he's using a licensed version of Window$:
I know that software companies want to earn bucks from selling their wares, and I don't encourage people to crack and use warez, but I think Micro$oft and some other companies are rather demanding and stuff when it comes to protecting their interests, going so far as to implementing mandatory activation schemes.
I agree on R*'s notion of selling their software, since they pretty much spent a lot developing things and working with actors and actresses, but other firms' notion of "licensed, not sold" confuses some of us. Do I actually own my licensed copy of Windows XP? No.
