I find that hard to believe. If they knew their products were too expensive and that it was okay for people to have cracked versions, they would just lower the price.
As for the 'why pay for it when you can get it for free' bit... well that's pretty easy to say when you're doing the
stealing from being a computer, where most of it will never be able to be found. If it ever is the most they do is disable the software, you'll never face charges. I'm sure most wouldn't have the guts to walk into a store and stuff some things into their jacket and walk out with it.
I don't want to get into this whole debate as I don't really care, but why bring it up on the forums? Why encourage/discourage other people from doing it? If you like doing it, or don't... fine, do or don't! Is there really a reason to try to push it onto others? Not to mention the topic itself is disallowed on the forums so if you keep this up they'll most likely leave a ****load of deleted, spammy posts in the thread.
