@Synaesthesia: You can find a small explanation about our (lack of) hypocrisy in the forum FAQ; I suggest you read it.
We don't (and can't) care if you obtain illegal stuff (re-distributing software against its license is illegal, there's no point in arguing about it), just don't discuss it on this forum. And, especially not in front of the very people who wrote that stuff.
Yes, I also prefer free software and, yes, I also give away my software for free. But that's beside the point: others have the right to not to do so, sell their software instead, and the best I can do is either buy it or ignore it. There are, of course, other possibilities but... again, see the hypocrisy explanation. And, yes, the whole world is much more complicated than discussing legally (?) obtained software on a forum but, well, this forum is not supposed to solve all the problems of the world either.
I see this is also beginning to sound like a rant so I'll stop now...
Please, drop the topic; while you may be right on some issues, these are not the issues we deal with on this forum. Thanks!
