Use thepiratebay. But you probably already do. Set deadlines! People don't work well without deadlines.

- rumpelstiltskin 16y agoWe do use TPB. What do you use it for? Edit: Don't know why people are downvoting, but to clarify: I wasn't sure if jeb was using TPB for the same purpose as we are or if he was suggesting TPB as a way to take a break (movies, music, games etc)
- jeb 16y agoWhen I had no money, I'd get even $20 software off there. Now I buy $20 software, but I get $900 software off there. In the future perhaps, I'll buy $900 software.
- rumpelstiltskin 16y agoYep, thats us as well. We currently pay for software thats in the ~$100 range, but hope to pay for $1000 software in the future.

- nailer 16y agoWhat apps? I use Pixelmator instead of Photoshop and its got a better UI and exports to PSD for my slicing service.
- lovskogen 16y agoTried out different apps to replace Photoshop; Pixelmator, Acorn, DrawIt and Phoenix - but none gave me as good workflow. Pixelmator did not have Layer Groups, Layer Styles or vector Shapes when I tested it. Does it now?
- drp 16y agoIf you need it and it isn't free, buy it. If you can't afford it you either don't actually need it or should find a free alternative.
- jpcx01 16y agoSorry, that's horse shit. Pirating software to make money is the epitome of hypocrisy. If you need something for your startup, buy it. Pirating it outright is straight up bad for you and for your startup. If you are successful, someday you might have employees. How can you get any respect from anyone if you tell them to load up a pirated copy of something. Even if not, self respect is an important thing (even if subconsciously). If you know you're cutting corners, you'll end up be less motivated to follow through on things. Whatever, just dont do it. It's stupid.
- markkanof 16y agoSo you are advocating using pirated software to build other software that you then will want people to buy?
- cageface 16y agoNo. Pay for what you use or find a cheaper alternative.
- davidmurphy 16y agoPirating software is morally wrong, and it is a crime. No. Black and white. Sorry.
