windows

first reason is to save money.. software such as ms windows os costs too much.. a pirated installer cost less than a dollar.. most software applications cost $30 and above.. i have purchase only a few software, that is because i was not able to find a key for it.. otherwise i will look for a freeware equivalent..

cant afford the price of softwares and OS. this is due to conversion of us dollar to other. well if any one tries to buy all softwares it will cost more than that of a computer. so all try to use pirate softwares........

Because originals are expensive than pirates but they have the same quality. I use pirates too. Why would you pay $100 if you can buy one for $4 with the same quality. I rather go on pirates

The price of original software is really high. It's really tempting to download or buy pirated software because you get the same functionality for a really really cheap price.
