I agree with you, if i can afford program/game i buy it, but sometimes companies forces me to get pirated version - for example spore - because of securom or other protections(anyone remember Starforce? i could not play legal games on that).
Not always protection is good idea - Bethesda haven't protected Oblivion, and it sold really well.

I also don't agree with animus, pc is pirated, and xbox360/ps2/psx/any other console than ps3 is not? The only platform that is not cracked is ps3, that is one of reasons that i choose to bought it, compared to xbox360.

I can't say i don't use pirated software, but if i can use legal ones i do(i have got Openoffice, AVG and gimp instead of Office, paid anti virus, photoshop). There are only 2 cases in which i regularly use pirated software, 3d Studio Max and Autocad. I love 3d graphics and i can't model without most of 3ds functions, and autocad helps with 3d and it also helps with geometry at school, thanks to this i could model, using paper, a whole castle using primitives.
I didnt say those consoles aren't moddable, I was only talking about the PC. The amount of people that have a modded 360 compared to those playing pirated PC games are vastly different. Only a rare, I'd guess 3-5% even have a modded 360.
