Piracy is Sexy. Period.

We all make choices throughout our lives...to be or not to be...the red pill or the blue pill...cigarette or gaanja...err..sorry got a little carried away. But one thing we are unanimous about is Pirated software, music, movies...and come on admit it...even your browser and your OS are pirated...if not, well then I'm afraid Uncle Gates swindled you. Because intellectual property is bullcrap and Piracy is the order of the day.
A software when stripped down to basics, is a piece of information. And denying information is exploitation. Everbody in this free market survives by denying something to a select few and supplying to a few others. But something like a browser or a calculator or photoshop could be as vital as your dail bread. It could cost your life or worse, your job!! Panic!
When lawmakers in the US failed to curb narcotics, they improvised upon the present solutions : legalize it! Yes. You can have shops selling hashish in your backyard. But unfortunately, software is not weed. There's lobbying, big people with bigger egos and then more lobbying. But where there's a will, there's GNU! So no losing hope right now fellas.

PS: A friend says i got some awesome writing prowess...well show our enthu then. Comment hard and sharp. I'd love a good debate.

"Failures are the stepping stones to success. Mine are few and far between. Maybe that explains my lack of success!" ;)
