A scoundrel amongst us! A witch, even! Let's burn him at the stake!! Where's the emoticon for the burning witch? This will have to do.
Just kidding, of course.
You got me on the first one, Penforhire. I suppose I would be tempted to check out the software if I couldn't get it legally just to try. For products of smaller companies, I'm guessing that if you asked them to try it they'd be happy to let you. In fact, I'm sure they would if they knew there were illegal copies available to you and you were still considering paying them for a legal copy!
As to the second, I'm just not going there - not for me. Yes, I have many, many books on my shelves and I know that if I spent some time I could find illegal copies of the ebooks. But I just can't imagine me doing that. I guess I'd rather do without or digitize them myself for my own use only. Probably not a habit I would want to get into.
