-=> Well, to the extent that you have failed to offer
-=> justification why copying and
-=> distributing ANY company's overpriced software is a)
-=> stealing or b) wrong ... I
-=> can safely say that you have no ground to stand on. What if
-=> I wanted to code
-=> software to compete with Windows... who could possibly
-=> afford the various
-=> programming platforms ($200+ each), Windows support packages
-=> ($100), etc? The
-=> inequity that invalidates anti-piracy is the same inequity
-=> that can be applied
-=> in a general social model. Either way ... THAT is what is
-=> wrong. Not copying
-=> software.
well then you should start somewhere else....don't expect to to fucking wake 
up one day and say "Gee...im going to code a far superior GUI to Windows" 
well, you're not going to, you have to start out small like ALL the big 
software companies...what the hell do you think happened, Bill Gates said 
"Gee...im going to make the worlds worst working best selling gui today and 
sell it to the world!" no! He probably started out doing small coding work 
for a company in his area....b.s. i havent given any reasons...
