hi all
i actually make it policy to pirate all microsoft programs (they have too much money already). most of the games i have are the borrowed type and i actually got BG1 as a pirate. after i had just about finished it i went out and bought it as i wanted to support the company and get the book.
that a good point Mandrake about mark up. it pay to shop around too, i found $15 difference, only after i had already bought it (i couldn't wait to shop around just went to the second nearest shop and bought it, first had already sold out.)
It a tough issue as there is a lot of programs out there that are way overpriced (tax) and when you have a go of them first you can make up your own mind if you want to buy it. they should set up some thing where you can pay the royalties to the company and bypass the governments greedy fingers.
