It seems like there are no pirated s/ws in unity - I went to Barclays to get a quotation for a PC and they even won't install windows for machines they sell... Should buy windows - Vista Starter is somewhere around 6500... If conditions prevail, what will you do?

I will install windows 98 or ubuntu (Which I have pirated versions with me)

And then U-Torrent. And then will search for a Vista torrent and will install it Simple

(Well I hate SW piracy.. So I have all the legal versions to tell the truth )

Let's see what our SL bros tell about this

Open office 3 is coming... i can live with that - n I don't need cooledit... so I'm ready to be a microsoft approved BOY.. but if i ddnt get vista - i wonder if i'll definitely go opensource or buy vista -> OR PIRATE

thnX machan... but ithin mata net thiyenawa ne... I can virtually download anything... Yet, I only have 2 pirated s/ws... office 2007 n cooledit pro... saha samahara wita visual studio 2008 & matlab from tomorrow... lol... I think I'd keep pirating...

 

[CoolCartoon]

for me..i dont have originals with me. all bought from SL (pettah originals ) and downloded from net.

people who live in sl cant afford for original cd, dvds..... so they dont have any choice.

pirating is the solution.

as most Sri Lankans are not rich people we cant spent whole lot of money for computer software. specially with the prevailing situation in the country, I think i must spend more than 1 lack(dont know for sure) if i am buying Maya software.So how can we do that!!
I think software piracy is bad . but i think sharing is good nee..torrents are like that. but the thing is in SL broadband internet connectivity is not widely spread among the country. so person who are in a rural area cant move in to the new technology.
Open source application will be a good solution for this for sure. But the thing is that 99% people in Sri Lanka is used to Windows platform. So to overcome that problem education institutes(most probably Univercities) must use linux based OS and they have to initiate a project to introduce opensource application to the society,
These are my thoughts on this issue, Like to know u r thoughts.
thanks Chamithal for starting this thread. Its a big issue these days.
