Default FOSI

Having no job, and feeling unable to justify spending money on a product I may only use once or twice a month, I like FOSI. The easiest way to get a working page is to [edit] kick yourself to FOSI [/edit] (wasn't really a link in the sense fo the word, but anyway...)

<rant>Personally, I only see Warez as bad if 1) You are a business who profits from the use of said warez, or 2) If *sell* copies of the software (bought legally or not) Otherwise you aren't loosing much when joe geek-with-no-money downloads your software off the net, and possibly make profit due to posative word-of-mouth advertizing. Another example is:

I want to learn to to 3D modeling, but don't have $200K to blow on a school, or even $5-15K to blow on a peice of software... but have ~$60 to spend on the tutorial books the colleges use. So I download Maya Wavefront, crack it, and play around with it, do the tutorials in the book, etc. This lets me get a free education, and get hired by a company that DOES buy the software. </rant>

[edit]To aswer the post below, $20 is $20 more than I have if I have $0, and I tend to use a piece of software once or twice -uncrippled- then rarely, if ever, use it again because it sucks, or I can find a freeware application that does the same thing. I say, if you use software a lot, or have the money to burn, go ahead and pay for it, but I personally don't believe in paying for software I've never tested for usefulness. [/edit]
