When I was a kid, most couldn't afford software. Buying a PC was a massive financial effort. With the added cost of software, an impossible one. Buying a PC and having barely any software... a waste of precious money.

Piracy was unavoidable.

We didn't feel pirating software was some kind of moral right, but we didn't feel like criminals either.

We had no money, we wouldn't have bought it anyway. Heck, in most cases we didn't even use it for long.
