There are those of us who can't afford to have such high morals as you.
Morality protects property, and is totally useless for those without
property. And if you could kindly point me to a very good 3d modeling
program for Quake which is free, I'd really appreciate it. I've seen
people argue for years about whether pirating is bad or not, and
basically it totally depends on who you are. If you have a rigid system
of morals (usually highly influenced by Christianity), and believe in an
absolute truth, you'll probably argue that pirating is wrong.
Personally, I'm broke and too young to have a credit card with which to
purchase QuakeME in an effective manner, so *of course* I'm going to
argue for piracy. But please remember one thing: I'm not morally
justifying it, because I don't care about whether something is
considered morally right or wrong.
