You're right I would rather be a law abiding citizen than a criminal, yea thats definately something I should be ashamed about! And you are right, I would MUCH rather pay for something to say I own it, rather than steal it just because I'm too cheap/poor to buy it. As a software developer I know what it's like when people steal my work, and I try and do everything the law allows me to do to prosecute such people, therefore I wouldn't want to do the same thing to someone else.
