Software piracy doesn't require a lot of skill anymore. If I were, hypothetically, someone who used pirated software in the past and checked the state of the business recently, I would know that recent releases are basically a "Run this .exe File" and it would install all necessary dependencies, the software in question and patch the cracks in. Common misconception is also malware, you usually only get that when you google "<insert software name here> crack" and click on the first link without thinking. There are plenty of reputable sources on the internet which distribute malware free cracks and will punish offenders of this rule (of course, I wouldn't know anything about such sites). PS: If the above hypothetical situation were true, I'd be paying for my software now, it would have been mostly due to lack of monetary sources.
