If you write code for a living, your career is in the crosshairs of the Web’s demand that everything digital be cheap or free.&#160; A whole generation is growing up believing that if you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many people steal software because they are too stupid to know that it’s wrong, or too dumb to get a job so they can pay for what they are stealing. Though many pirates will tell you how smart they are because they’re getting stuff for free while the rest of us have to pay.  It [...]]]></description>

These friends enjoy access to the most [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s an image making its rounds on the Web that says &#8220;Piracy is Not Theft&#8221; because it makes a copy and leaves the original intact: The diagram itself is correct.  Piracy simply makes a copy of the song/video/software.  The original remains intact, and the owner doesn&#8217;t lose a copy when someone pirates it.
