Not at all man.

How many "designers" here could afford $600 photoshop at 12-13 years old when they were perfecting their craft? Yet they probably grew up, and bought a bunch of Adobe products they now use in their professional business.

Piracy isn't all loss in the software world, far from it.

What good comes from downloading media is beyond me though, I don't see any value other than convenience to the end user, and I wouldn't argue the same points on media piracy.

However, we're on computers, in a digital age, using software to transmit this media. I do not think we'd be here without it, growth would have come much more slowly.
