Im a poor 21 year old student,
and i can't afford software...

Im using an PM Old G4 450Mhz with Panther STOCk
and can't afford much. So all the software i use is either
downloard or copied. I would not have had them otherwise...
being poor and all..

I have apple PRO LOGIC, QUARKS, PHOTOSHOP, everything....
all free of charge... EVEN OS X- PANTHER...

Is it really wronge... I mean i can't afford it otherwise...
and all i wanted is to be educated.

I do the same for my PC, PIII 750Mhz

Your question is inherently contradictory. One does not own stolen goods. One possesses them.

Get a job. If you can't afford something, it doesn't give you the right to steal it.

Let me ask this question: If you weren't poor and had a job, would you than go out and buy all your software?

It seems to me, that it doesn't matter if you are well off or poor. Both classes of people pirate software and both types of people (even with their reasonings) are wrong for doing so.

By that logic, you're too poor to have a girlfriend. So you think it's all right to go ahead and rape girls?
