KD>The difference is, that if you steal a TV, someone won't have it.  If you 
co
KD>a software, noone looses anything.
They lose their potential profits.
KD> KD>But if I try a software (which is illegal with market releases now)
KD> ML> A lot of companies offer demo programs.
KD>Some do, some don't.
Most do, a few don't. Name one of the better companies who don't.
KD>Don't tell me you see a huge difference between trying out something at 
your
KD>friend's, or copying it, trying it at home and then erasing it.  Do you 
real
KD>commit a crime if you erase it in say, an hour ?
That would be fine but the fact is most people wouldn't delete unless
they didn't like it. And still would be crime but that's not the point.
KD> ML> That's said a lot more than it's done. I know a lot of people who
KD> ML> pirate.
KD>You buy everything you use ?
Are you refering to software? In that case yes.
KD> ML> i don't know anyone who has ever later paid for what the
KD> ML> pirated.
KD>Well, you live quite far from here, so it's not your fault that you 
aven't
KD>met me before :-)
That's one over the few hundred that I know that do.
KD> KD>So why is it illegal to try ANY software for at least a few days ?
KD> ML> Give me a break. The only time a pirate only has something on their
KD> ML> computer for a few days is when they don't like it otherwise they 
eep
KD> ML> it for free.
KD>I'm only saying that this trial should be free, and not considered a 
rime.
KD>If they keep it, they do commit a crime.
But there is no way to enforce. Give me a way they could enforce it.
