What would happen if everyone used pirated software rather than bought software?
well all go to jail.
How can you say that a software is pirated?
Software that is pirated will not be sold from an autorized retail store. It might come in packaging that is not the original, or with a product keycode that is not on official packaging. Software piracy is highly illegal. Very often, you would already know it is pirated, since you were the one who searched for it in file-sharing software and downloaded a serial number or registration crack. Except in the case of counterfeit goods as described in the previous paragraph, most users of pirated software know it is pirated.
Is there a pirated version of Microsoft Word 7?
In a word, Yes.I would strongly not recommend downloading pirated software. I would suggest downloading Open Office from OpenOffice.org. It has all of Microsoft's software, but it's open source (legal).
Would you want your software pirated?
No, since pirated software is illegal. Lots of pirated software is broken, meaning one or more functions of the software is unavailable or won't work such as automatic updates or registration. The process of patching it to remove the registration check may have damaged other things in the software. It is also possible that some pirated software contains malicious code, spyware, or viruses. Also, because you can't register, you can't receive technical support from the manufacturer. If it causes damage to your system, your hardware warranty will not cover it.
What would you do if you discovered that your employer was engaged in illegal activity like using pirated software?
Call the police
What would happen if you went to best buy and got your computer fixed that had pirated files?

When someone pirates software they are stealing something that otherwise would have to be purchased. Many torrent sites have illegal downloads for free that may have viruses in them.
Is it illegal to get access keys online if you have the game and it is not online gaming?
yes, this would basically be downloading pirated software(which is still piracy).
How does pirating software hurt the user?
It makes that person a criminal ! Computer piracy in simple terms is THEFT ! Theft is a criminal offense world-wide ! If caught, the person in possession of the pirated software would face charges - resulting in either a large fine and/or jail time. Writing computer programs can take a programmer days, weeks or even YEARS. Using pirated software deprives the legitimate writer of income. Before using such software - ask yourself a simple question - How would YOU feel if someone else was being paid for work YOU did !
What would happen if everyone exploded right now?
Everyone would be dead
If i pirste software and then buy it later am i still breaking the law?
After purchasing, you would only be breaking the law if you are continuing to use the pirated software or have it available on a torrent site for others to download. If you are, you should stop and use the legally obtained software. The original act of pirating the software would still be considered breaking the law.
What would happen if everyone had a job?
No body would be jobless.
