Well you may want to say good for you instead of slamming him for it every chance you get. Words of incouragment are easier to say when you don't have the shadow of anger behind them. The other part is tricky because most of the world uses pirated software. Including government, leading architecture firms, technological design institutes, and animation studios. You would think with all that money they would spring for copies of software but I'm afraid that's not the case. The rich don't get that way by being honest. I remember back when Autodesk was giving out free copies of Studio Max in my friends game magazine. He gave me a copy and now you can find that version 1.1 or whatever for free all over the net. Does that make me more or less of a pirate? When you think about it as a whole it doesn't matter. People will do what they want and no amount of morality policing will stop them.
Just take it easy man when all is said and done its just a forum.
