I kept a job while in university. You seem like you're looking for justification.

In that case, just do it, hope you don't get caught. If you do, then you can't say that people didn't persuade you otherwise. And if you get a job with one of these companies you're pirating from; hope you don't get downsized due to economical reasons that directly/indirectly are connected to piracy.

And what about this college. Doesn't it have a computer lab? Or library? And why would you pirate... wouldn't the openness of your OS of choice have viable options? I mean... it's so damn open.

Sorry, I'm anti-piracy to the core.

Judging by the poll answers, probably explains why there's such a hard dislike to DRM around these parts.
