Some software companies have found ways to come over come the average pirater by not including the serial numbers in the software, making CDs that cannot be copied, having software that will only run with the original cd. So many companies are not using any of this. So until they wise up, start lowering software costs, or demand drops there will be no end to pirating anything.

The original would have to have a safety device that disallows the software to be pirated or copied. But even they will figure out how to bypas that and still do it.. Stricter laws maybe the only way to cut it down and that will not end it completely either. So that leaves your conscience..and we are human.

Until we ourselves stop buying them, it is very difficult for piracy to be eradicated. Not everybody can afford the genuine stuff.
