Now there's a, shall we say, *interesting* point of view. Are there also
legitimate excuses for armed robbery, rape, and murder?
OK, that was out of line. However, that doesn't change the fact that there
are *no* "legitimate" excuses for software piracy. I can understand why
some people pirate software - it's too expensive. Way too expensive in
many cases. Understanding, however, doesn't imply condoning. It's still
wrong.
