Uhh ... looks like we have an interesting discussion going on here.
Several people have indicated they don't condone piracy, and don't
buy the "try it before you buy it" rationale, because of the rampant
and lenient return policies of the vendors they deal with.  Please post 
the names of these vendors for the rest of us.  I've had several (1 is 
too many) situations where I was refused the right to return software within
days of purchasing it.  While this is not reason enough for me to pirate,
it IS sufficient reason to change vendors.  Who are the good guys?  And
we're talking mail order here too.
