Say No To Piracy, You'll feel good and In Control

I realized , Piracy brings chaos to your life as a side effect (apart from the ethical debate).
Being pirated (and hence free) , we d/l tons of songs, pdf, software .... that ultimately just add up to the space in hard drive.

The Cost of products still remain a debatable topic, but being into software industry, I feel there exist sufficient free and legal options for the masses.


Saying no to piracy and returning to good ol' days of selected few.

• Started buying songs rather than downloading via questionable sites (6 rs a song is not a bad deal)
• Switched to Open Office (till I get my office 2013 shipped )
• Started using VS Express for personal use(more than enough for now)
• Photoshop gone, LightRoom purchased, Photoshop CS is supposedly free* so keeping that for now.
• eBooks are next :)
• Movies are all gone thanks to a recent hard drive crash :)
• Said good bye to torrents the day btjunkie died.

Update 2020:  Office License, Photoshop License - Check. VS Code is superb, VS Community edition is fairly extensive, No Pirated e-book since 2013

Feels good to have less and relevant content.
