Why not? When I do pirate something, I work hard to get it legally within a 
reasonable time or drop it. Spending time makes it a bit harder to work.

When no-one on the outside can afford to travel to a computer store that 
would actually sell it, let along buy it?

When you can get cars for free (assuming you actually like them), then 
they're affordable. Besides, cars are commonly cheaper than software. Bad 
example in my case :-)

Depending on the circumstances, it is justifyable. Those circumstances are 
extreemly rare and probbaly won't occur in my country.
Anyways, why are you (publicly) against piracy? I thought because you use a 
handle in your sig you are required to pirate/hack anything you see, want it 
or not!!! :-) :-) 
WRT piracy, my views are slightly more permissive than others. If you cannot 
get it legally within a reasonable period of time, replace it with something 
legal or do without.
Also, legally I have not pirated anything, because I was not the person who 
first pirated it (well, ok, this country has weird laws but under the elgal 
definition I have never pirated anything).
