I would like to share that far from sticking it to big companies, piracy hurt independent creators way more than big corporate interests. Sure, software behemoths would be even happier to squeeze out more pennies from individual purchases, but they make their big bucks at governmental and institutional levels. Meanwhile, _consumers_ compare free software to "free" cracked software. If the equation was "does this software bring me 300 CURRENCY of value, or can I get this value out of a free alternative?", the results would be quite different. Which means we would also deal with better financed alternatives... Netflix etc are legal, but if you care about proper rewarding of creators and improving the situation, well.
