Since the 80s, C64 at first, Amiga later on.

hmm, on and off for 10 years, but I only REALLY got excited a few years ago because up till then I'd just gotten cracked versions of Winzip and virus-infested warez, etc., and didn't think there was much out there beyond that so I just mainly used freeware/shareware and reinstalled after 30 days thinking that the quality stuff had to be paid out the ass for and there was no way around it....then one day I managed to download Photoshop and just thought, this is $700 software and I've got the FULL version...FREE!!!

Then things REALLY went downhill

i think the first software i pirated was prince of persia, back in ~1990. i still remember vividly doing the first level about a 1000 time, cause after the level you had to drink the cup of water with the letter in the manual's page x, line y or something like that. of course later i got the properly cracked vesion.
