Quote from ArchAngel:
You're pretty indignate for a self-professed thief.
I'm sure your little "it costs a lot" speech is breaking everyone's hearts. Trading's a business. If you're not funded well enough to pay the operating expenses during your startup phase, you don't belong in it.
As far as "...everything that I can save helps", indeed true - so your solution is to steal?
If you're searching for cracked/hacked software as a way of cutting down your costs, then you clearly have no qualms about stealing the products or services of others.
Do you also steal your cable TV service, have the electricity meter hot wired, use pirated cellular phones, and satisfy your office needs by shoplifting from Office Depot? Same difference.
If you don't like the thief label, then don't steal. Hacked/cracked software/services is stealing, pure and simple.
