In my opinion ther is also a certain degree of hypocrisy in this matter
The word "stealing" means that you cause a damage to someone else
Is it the case ?
Why dont' they ask Google or AltaVista... to remove these sites, then ?
Some software houses offer their products at cheap price or even free of charge for non commercial applications.
Should I assume that their marketing managers are philantropic or masochist people ?
The truth is that it is a powerful form of promotion.
Up to a certain extent these sites make the same job , arising the company from relevant distribution costs
That's why they are tollerated,in my opinion.
Hoewever I was not asking for an ethic judice
I was wondering wether it is legal or not to download software from these sites.
