What are your views of software piracy. I personally don't use pirated software (Well I have a few copied programs, but that is mainly due to the fact that I dont have the £100 plus pounds that some of these programs cost). I think that software prices should be considerably lowered, even games are becoming to much to afford. I still remember the day when you could get a box full of Amstrad games for a couple of Quid. I understand that games cost a lot more to make now a days but surely they dont need to charge up to £50 for a game?
All this in mind I can understand why piracy is such a big problem.
If only the software develpers would lower prices then prehaps piracy wont be such a big problem to them.
