- jakubp 14y agoI disagree. I think the blog post perfectly shows one of the common rationalizations when pirating software. I'd even say more -- regardless of the intention of the post, it actually pictures how people act when they are angry / frustrate. We, humans, need to tell ourselves something nice when we do bad things. In this case, it's something like "they were bad to me, so it's OK if I'm bad to them". I can imagine more sinister reasons for piracy or misconduct of any other kind. This one feels so natural.
