What software would you have on you computer if warez didn't exist?

[thizzladen]

What software would you acctually shell out $$$ for?

I'd probably buy Photoshop on payments. Then another 5 years saving up for FL Studio.

 

[Mac]

I'd use free stuff.

 

[-Im.z2ight-]

I am too cheap to buy anything.

 

[Splat]

I'd just go for free alternatives.

 

[Flash]

I don't use warez, warez sucks balls

Yea right, I iz a pir@te

 

[Yopak]

I would just do what i did before warez find a free alternative.

 

[zibo]

no warez i would learn how to crack just to get it free!

 

[DeLeTeD]

use linux more

 

[Curtis129]

probably wouldnt use a PC if i didnt run websites and be active on all different forums, wouldnt need to organise HDD's files n shit.
I would just be using the laptop i bought before i even had internet... which has XP
lol

Where possible I would make the tools I need myself. For big/complex stuff I'd resort to open-source (which I already do actually). The remaining stuff I would probably crack unless it is some f'd up protection (StarForce and others, not my cup of tea ).

I would also go back to the old-old-oldskool way, trading with friends. Like the late 90's.

hmm well if I couldn't download for free I'd probably take a copy from work as they have all the adobe programs, AutoCAD and other's I need. But then that's still steeling. I'd probably have better grades.

 

[DEViANCE]

phpdesigner, win7, nod32.

 

[JmZ]

if warez didn't exist, it'd mean paid software/games couldn't exist too. We'd be in an opensource world, meaning the apps which you pay for now would be free.

Which brings me to my answer: I'd have the same software.
