    Our tax dollars are subsidising hollywood and AAA video games. We already paid for them

    but just my personal advice. Don’t pirate your OS and don’t pirate security software, that shit needs to run exactly right and cracked versions could have all kinds of things hidden inside of them

      I have yet to ever have this happen to me. I’ve been pirating Windows OSes since Win2000 days.

      This is only a risk if you don’t know what you’re getting into and do not take precautions. The best security for your PC and OS is common sense. Anti-virus and that junk just want your money to make you feel secure.

      Windows and Linux are both free and MacOS coames pre-installed in custom made hardware, so I don’t know who would pirate an OS anymore. I’m with you on security software though.
