I work in a small company and we use pirated software. We are afraid to get caught but the software we use is very expensive. Since we just began with work we plan to work about 1 year without actually legalizing software and the buy a license. I want to hear other experiences with illegal software use and what are the alternatives. I know that using illegal software is not really secure to do so we will really like to change something.
Please help with your ideas.

Im not using pirated software myself so I cant tell my experiences about that, but sure someone here can tell their story. I know that penalties when you get caught can be very high, so be careful. Sometimes these penalties can excide cost of buying legal software even 10 times. So what Im trying to say this is not very smart or ethical to do. Talking about ethic Im not on their side, Im kind on your side. I talk about companies that earn large amount on selling legal copies of music, movies etc. Just I use another way of dealing with them, I use free software.
Yes Im another Linux user that wants all his software for free. And I was normal Windows user just a year ago, then I figured out how much will I actually save by learning Linux. Then I installed my first linux Ubuntu and start to learn everyday, until I could do all things there that I did with Windows.
Now I dont have any problems with legal things anymore and I can say Im pretty satisfied with that. I think I going to use linux for a long time.
