well for what I consider pirating, which is downloading, uploading, passing around hundreds of megabytes, then gigabytes,, 1995 is when it started for me, hell now you can upload a dvd in a matter of minutes. :D
Doing the getting and giving to/from friends went on since the beginning around 1987 forward but I don't consider that pirating. ;)
well around 5 years
too many years to count

wow, alot of 5+ years people. next question would be are you pirating software just for learning purposes since the software costs too much? or are you just pirating everything?

Since about 2002

Over 6 years
think i started on the commodore 64
A long time now can't really rember exactly how long but at least 5 years.
Since i used to have a Commodore 64 and used to copy cassettes on my twin deck player :)
Maybe too long... :D
Like some others, started on the commodore 64 :)
I think around 10 years or so. I remember getting pirated stuff when the CD-Rom drive wasn't around. Ahh, the good ol' days of floppys...
Used to copy discs on my Commodore 64. Bought 4 or 5 games but must have had hundreds. I am sure alot of peeps my age did the same thing.
6 years (or more) ago, since i got internet
i thought Kazaa was super...
when my parent bought my brother and myself our first 286, we were first exposed to copied games on 5 1/4 disks.. those were some innocent times. most notable of the games that we were given were leisure suit larry 2 (when a badly photocopied manual that someone had to write in pen for the phone number part), double dragon, and ghostbusters II. ah, good times those were.
its been awhile..
I started on windows 98 when that first came out :)
Since the early 80s, remember those 5 1/4 floppies, Still have my first pirate copy of DOS 3.11
Sine Atari ST's were popular so that much be somewhere around the late 80's?
