Personally I look at it like this. While I'm not physically 'stealing' their product, I am still profiting by not paying X amount for its use. As an example, imagine if you are planning on purchasing a copy of Photoshop at $1000 but before you leave to go to the store you do a quick search on your favorite torrent site. Sure enough it's there and you download it, saving yourself $1000 while still benefiting from the use of the software and using the $1000 on something else. So while software piracy might not harm the developer directly, it greatly benefits the person who downloads the software. |
