Legitimate Software?

**sail3005** · Feb 17th, 2001, 05:19 PM

So, how much of your software is illegal? I used to have quite a bit, but now that i have more money, i am slowly buying legit copies of what i before illegally owned.

and i threw away a lot of the illegal stuff

Just wondering

quite a bit of my software on my computer is pirated, but i do try and by legit stuff if i can, but i am going to university in september and i need quite a bit of legit software, i think that the biggest peice of pirate software that i have is visual studio 6 enterprise edition, or windows ME not sure ??

yes.. piracy wasn't a problem in India till last year.. so may be 99% of all software here was pirated...

Now its totally illegal and ppl are afraid to have them.. still i've 3d Studio Max and Photoshop pirated..

But I'm a PROUD OWNER OF MS VISUAL BASIC 6.0 PE
YEAH!.. (that was my first non-pirated good software he he)

PSP 6...I prefer photoshop...but thats only a demo (no copying from other sources, not printing or saving) so I use it...printscreen and put it in psp6 (eats up lotsa resources

) My VB6 is borrowed and so is VC++

But hey I bought borland!

The reason I don't have much real stuff is that I live in a small town, and my parents are computer illiterate. They don't understand why I would pay so much for C++. So I'm stuck with borrowing and downloading

Yeah, one thing that gets me upset, is when i go out, and buy a piece of software that is supposed to be very good, and has no demo, but then turns out to be terrible.

The biggest peice of priate software is win2000 advanced server and then VS6

The most exspensive peice of software that is legal of mine was a game at £30

hehe i do have full non-pirate versions of windows9x and MSoffice97 etc but that came free with my pc.
