it's a personal choice. if you feel obligated, buy it. if you don't, it's your decision. i'm not going to go into the whole "stealing" shpiel, but if there's a price for it out there and you don't pay, logic says that you're technically stealing.
i will not buy ms office. especially when they don't give you an office cd when you buy it oem. thats bullshit.

i always buy software to support the companies of software i like. except microsoft. fuck them and their dumb licensing shit
