You know, I used to support warez, thinking I can get anything off the internet for free even though it costs money to get the real version. That was cool, or so I thought, until I realized just how much this warez thing affected everyone.

It hurts to walk around some of the more underdeveloped nations, to see the calculators used by market sales people that are the exact name brand of the calculator that my father makes, exact same shape and size... but very much fake in that they don't work really well, but they are dirt cheap, and everyone can afford them.

My father has to work so much harder than everyone else in his position to keep reaping profits while other organizations are loosing loads of money, one of these mighty battles is that very thing... warez. I thought of the food on the table, the roof over my head, and the clothing on my back. These are the very things that my father fights to provide every single day, and there are people out there who are just trying as hard as they can to destroy that... one of them was me... it hurt and I couldn't sleep for nights until I crawled to my laptop and deleted all the warez things I had downloaded, promising myself that I will try as hard as I can to avoid them, unless it is deemed absolutely necessary, like decoding a msg from an SOS sender.

and I'm sure it goes for every single family here. At some point, your products or the ones of your parents/friends will be stolen and sold for a much cheaper price, or be given for free...

It upsets me... and I had given up supporting warez ages ago. I wish people would see that. I wish people would understand. I wish people wouldn't come around just to destroy every effort people make to keep themselves warm on cold days and full on hungry nights.

Warez... they are the work that doesn't pay. It hurts, and it hurts a lot.
