Pirated software = cheap.... that's 99.5% of the motivation behind buying pirated software.

 

[Takmadeus]

yep!!!

it is because pirated software is cheaper...

it comes like this:

an oriuginal PSX CD costs like US$ 40, while in my country you can get a pirated one for US$ 1.50.... now you understand?

Honestly, I don't know. Shiori's answer is a good one.
I'm actually reserving the .5% for those people who could think of any other reason.... personally, I myself don't see any reason, other than the price issue.

hmm, maybe you could use peer pressure for the last .5%

Friend: Buy this, its only $1.50, you know you want to.

You: But...but.. I want to pay $40 and obtain it legally.

Friend: Come on, everyone is doing it.

You: Well, ok, but I don't have the cash on me right now.

Friend: Nevermind that, first time is on us, but next time you have to pay.

Friend doesn't have a dollar fifty? wow..... well anyway, he can raise that amount just by sitting on a street corner and holding out his hand to the pedestrians.

"Buying" pirated stuff is incredibly stupid. There is zero logic in it. No point to this discussion, as it violates the forum rules (or will sooner or later).
