You could also become an MVP, in which case you would also get a copy.
who said anything about piracy? there are tons of ways to get legitimate software....some might seem questionable though....IE: getting a friend with a business to go through the program which chris stated, in which case you would be in debt to him....some people can't sleep at night if they are indebted to friends....piracy is piracy though, if you don't support software piracy, then i should hope you don't have a single illegitimate mp3 on any of the hard drives you own....we wouldn't want to be hypocrites now would we?
