I dunno were you all come from (I've heard rumors about australia...)
but I'm pretty ashamed to say that in Israel warez-cracks are all very
common, in fact more than 80% of all software is pirated (as of 1995). I
must admit, I'm guilty as well in software piracy (in the past, at
least). However, I made a decision that I would rather use freeware, as
to promote that kind of distribution. I myself have written a couple of
utilities-programs-apps in my recent years, and always distributed them
free. I'm not bragging or something I think it should be done that way,
because I know of many crappy programs, shareware ones, that the author
was to cheap to distribute freely. It's not like he's gonna make a
fortune of it or like he's starving (I suppose...). Anyway, I think that
warez is just a crime like any other petty theft, with the exception
that it doesn't FEEL like a crime, that is, you don't really have to do
anything, so you fool yourself into thinking it's ok.

That's all, and BTW POV is great.
