Software Piracy Discussion

I have decided to allow the discussion to continue for now on this subject, but have stripped it from the poll where these posts came from as I feel the poll is inappropriate (and useless anyhow). Feel free to continue debating the topic as you like but be sure to abide by Subsim policy. If you pirate software or use cracks we do not want to know. Admission of such can result in your being put in the brig or possibly even banned from the site. This also includes links to pirate material etc.

Well not having any idea about the inclinations of more than a very small sample of Subsimmers that I have either met, or had dealings with, over the last few years, I'd have to say I have no idea as to what percentage are playing with pirated copies of the game.

I can say that at least the ones I've met and discussed the matter with all own legitimate copies so 100% of my sample have legitimate copies. But that would be less than 1% of everyone active here.
