Is the software piracy tolerable to some level or it should be completely avoided. Is piracy a crime equal to theft.

it is not fair to use pirated softwares, try to buy original ones and if u can't afford to buy them try sharing it with a friend who already has one.

Hi, Do you think sharing a software with a friend is not software piracy?
