@ubi007... u can use pirated software but you are forgetting that you put 100's and 1000's of engineer's jobs at risk by not paying for something you use.

You wouldn't know this unless you come from a industry from which you earn your bread and butter and someone does the same to you.

Also, you as an individual can use pirated s.w but i doubt there would hardly be a company which would think of using pirated software.
