the name is quite applicable. software pirates roam the high seas and steal from and take advantage of those people who spent their resources making a product that should be making some money for them.
i (Future Man is of course known by his friends as George W Bush and lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave Washington DC) am quite a villainous golden rule violater. its just so damn easy, and i totally cannot imagine going to the software store and spending money on these products.
honestly people, if you had to pay for your software, would you ever consider spending your time on it? has adobe acrobat convinced any home users that it is worth $600 million or whatever huge amount of money those types of programs cost?
would you go out and buy cds from 20 different classical rock artists? i mean i guess you should, but would you reconsider your behavior of constantly listening to music if it cost you $20 every two weeks to keep from being monotonous?
isnt the natural garden of eden/african jungle utopian ideal to actually sit around with your family and make music/entertainment yourself that can fakely be gained by software? ill kill people who selfishly destroy society so that they may gain unimaginable millions, but fellow pirates, i guarantee the omnisoul doesnt mind.
i almost forgot, software piracy is analogous to its namesake’s frontier. the government is unable to regulate it, therefore, everything is allowed. how did the gov fix that other problem? can the gov re-apply that idea to the current un-patrollable frontier? does it make a difference in average human happiness if they cant?
