Yep, as a teen there's no way my parents would buy me apps and there were no work options without owning a car or licence (which my parents also wouldn't pay for). So I pirated my multimedia tools to launch my career. Now I pay for thousands of dollars a year of legit software out of my own pocket. These days I think it's changed somewhat with advent of better quality open-source tools that will run on lower-spec systems.
