Storage? I am Storage!
If you have ever done any programming, does it make you appreciate programs made by others more?
How does it affect your view on software piracy?

Storage Is My Life
Yes absolutely. Even seemingly simple apps can take considerable effort.
I see flagrant disregard for software licensing even at a software place and wonder how people who do this for a living can take that stance.
The idea that 'all software should be free' is naive.

It would normally be the first option, but upon re-reading it, I dont think 'selflessly' applies.
They are getting paid right? And they are most probably enjoying their work.
As far as piracy is concerned:
Little programs I use often I pay for (WinRAR, Winamp (when it wasnt free), etc). Big £000s software I havent, to date, paid for. Even if I think it is amazingly useful etc, theres no way I'm paying that much to a company like MS, Adobe or similar. They are getting loads from their corporate agreements, and will have plenty of hot dinners till the day they die. I really don't feel much sympathy for them to be honest.
