Before you go ahead and JUDGE me, I'd suggest you LEARN the facts.
1) All the software I use is FREEWARE (or something similar) or stuff 
   that I wrote!
2) Shareware that I do not register I delete. So yes there is no
   unregistered shareware lying around -- with one exception.. a good
   number of shareware packages have a clause "if used for educational/
   research purposes, this is free".. ie NETSCAPE.. And guess what?
   I'm at a University!!! 
3) Any commercial software that I use is registered either to my school
   or to my work. By licensing I am allowed to use these without any
   additional cost.

So next time before you shout your mouth off and call someone a thief,
THINK. 

stupid people..
And for your information, I pay $30k a year for my education. My Internet
connection is part of that fee. I have my personal computer which I bought
over four years ago and my work computer which was bought for my use.
