Now Piratebay is not available in the UK because of a court ruling, there will be a lot of disappointed people out there who will have to start paying.
And a good thing too. If the scum who insist on downloading or making available pirated software had any experience in the software development industry, they wouldn't do it. Infact their community service sentence should be to work for a software development company, ideally in level 1 support reading off a script all day !
Developing and maintaining quality software doesn't come cheap or easily.
