How do you justify not paying for EverQuest?

I remember warez sites as places I could go to pick up some cracks for the pirated version of the game I wanted to play and a nice fresh batch of free viruses

Any warez site or mp3 sharing site always threw in a few free viruses with their deals. I appreciated the little extra

You mean my copy of photoshop that had a readme.txt with a weird ASCII skull logo at the top wasn't really from Adobe?

Actually goofs aside I wish I still had that cause you don't even get to own adobe products anymore. Renting software is pure cancer.

I still feel bad though for pirating a fancy commercial version of Sony Vegas Video (this was more than a decade ago) to make WoW pvp videos. Man that software was hard to learn for someone with no vid editing experience though. So not user friendly…

But I used to pride myself on telling people “I’ve never stolen anything”, when that software was at the time retailing for a few hundred. And plus all the MP3’s I pirated probably adds up a definitely hundreds of dollar’s worth. I guess I assumed digital was like intangible and thus not a thing when it came to stealing

I also stole company time at a lot of my first jobs. I remember one time I said I wasn’t feeling well (was just a hangover) to pad my leaving my post and going to the warehouse to sleep for a few hours, all without the manager knowing because co-worker friends covered for me

I think that most people who claim they have literally never stolen anything ever are either lying or forgetting
