I dont belive any software is worth buying But thats just me

You should always buy something if you can afford it. I can't afford anything so everything on my computer is pirated one way or another (except the music - gotta buy the albums). Then again I buy the music in CD format so I can say "ha, I have a disk here and I can physically hold it and I am SUPPORTING my favorite artist". I don't know anyone who would do that with a piece of software... In fact most of the pirated stuff I have I don't even use! CS3 Master Collection was the biggest waste of 3gb download ever - I don't even use a third of the stuff on there.

Fun fact: Vista was the FIRST OPERATING SYSTEM in my household that has even been legally purchased. And that's because it came with my laptop, which I then upgraded to a cracked Vista Ultimate because business was crap.

I can burn the disk onto a CD and hold it . The wounders of a DVD burner .

And CS3 master collection sucks, i just need Photoshop and Dreamweaver . Most of there other apps are great, but not for me. I wouldnt use them (i dont use them ) flash can be fun sometimes but... ye know.

And yes supporting your artist is good and all. But supporting them at $25 a peice isnt sane.

If CD's were like $10-$5, i would be far more willing. But oh well, there not, there over priced .

But yeah, i havent bought any software for.... well a very long time Probably since i was 6.....

And its not just the having to dish out money thing... its the convience thing. I can just download something quickly and easily. I cant have a paypal or anything like that, as im not yet 18 (although coincedentally, i DO have a paypal account) so that knocks out the digital purchuse. Which only leaves one option left. Free download! . I also live 1 hour from the nearest comp store So a bit of a hassle, taking location into account alone.

That's why I download stuff first to see if it'll be worth going out and buying it
And of course you can burn a cd/dvd and hold it - but it's not the same. A cheap crappy disk you get 10-50 in a pack or so of with no cool and colourful label on it. Now compare this to your unique "singular" disk you get paying the full 30 bucks for it.

EDIT: And printing a cd cover onto the disk still doesn't count!

Why not?

You can easily replicate an album, with artwork an everything(though personally I would print onto standard paper instead of wasting money and ink on glossy paper). And you do realise they use crappy cheap CDs too? They probably pay about 5p per CD for their CDs, if that. The 30 'bucks' you pay, is all about profit, not quality.

It's still not the same though. It's just different when you buy it instead of steal it. I didn't think about the quality of the CDs they use - they're probably worse than the ones you buy at the store!

100% profit. Have you seen them rich pop stars? FRIGGIN RICH! Grrrrr....

That's why I listen to rock/metal and not pop. Pop sucks it's just la de da look at me I'm running around the world naked popping pills speeding blah blah blah blah. They get enough attention without me paying them for more attention. Rock/metal on the otherhand are bands that are actually skilled and don't just pump out the same old song someone released several years ago with a new "twist", or no new twist at all!

Heavy Metal is godly

Do you know Alestorm?! Awesome band, hilarious at the same time . At first youl be like "wtf"but after listining to it for a bit youl be like "F' YEAH!!!!!!"

If it had a ninja theme it would be better.
