I can afford/don want to pay for my own software. Can I ask for warez (pirated software)?

Absolutely not. Warez is stealing, and advocating it will get you banned and/or your thread locked. We’re very strict on this policy for two reasons. First of all, stealing is wrong and this forum is no place to share your support of it. Many of the forum’s members work in the technology field and would be particularly offended to hear their kind of work is being acquired free after all the hard work they put into such software. Additionally, if word gets out that Star Wars fan films are being made with stolen software, George Lucas may decide to shut down the entire hobby. If you’re unfamiliar with exactly what warez constitutes: Warez is software, normally sold in stores, that has been illegally copied and distributed. If you acquired such software via an Internet download or a burned CD-R, it may be stolen.
