I don't consider it bad either because, personally, I have given the
software industry more than I have taken from it, and if I hadn't
taken from it, I would have given it nothing, so it's on the positive
side as far as I am concerned.

That's not the point, though. I wanted to point out that putting a
price tag on good software does not reduce its popularity, only
increase its share in the warez market. It's all in the quality of the
product.
