No, but the idea of illegal software is somewhat silly.

no ... my son burned a bunch of songs that somebody had swiped off the internet and i deleted them ... told him it was no different than if he walked into wal-mart and took off with armfulls of cd's ... part of the problem with society today ... once you start excusing bad behavior and morals, it gets easier and easier to let things keep sliding

I don't know LT. What constitutes "illegal"? If I borrow someone's CD and download a program am I committing a crime? If I purchase a used computer from someone and it has illegal stuff on it, do I get nailed for it? What exactly to you mean by "illegal"? Thanks.

No! Usually, such involves theft, stealing product and services brought about by the work of someone else. I would not engage in anything of that sort...any more than I would break into and rob your home...just because "everybody's doing it". No way!
In my mind there are good and sound reasons behind "Thou shalt not steal."

Nope. I'm a Linux user and exclusively use free and generally open source software

Absolutely none.
I use only Ubuntu software and Firefox browser.
Both are free!

Sure do. But it all comes from companies that are not in existence anymore, like Casady and Greene. It's still under copyright, therefore illegal.
by Darth NANAME on October 25th, 2009
Probably.

Why? It's all over Asia. A Windows Vista system program costs more than what most Vietnamese earn in three months. But everyone has it.

And it's absurd to say somebody can own a series of what amount to zeroes and ones.
