Pay for the software - simple as.

 

Just pay for it. If you don't think it's worth the money you probably don't need it anyway!

 

Its not good to pirate software, like Jim said, I believe in paying for software that I use daily, its the principle for me. Applies to games too...

On a side note, I've never trusted pirated software.

 

Pretty easy to embed stuff, especially when people have to use cracks to disable activation, etc.

 

I used to pirate the odd software program (Doom when it was first released only required you to add the full game PAK file to the demo to make it the full game) but many years ago I went down the route of everything being legal, I pay yearly for various subscriptions and don't really care that I do. It's so much harder these years, especially with online requirements. It's just not worth the hassle any more.
