How Long Have You Been Pirating Software

[reckless1o1]

I'd say 2-3 years, ever since I began to spend my whole day on the internet.

Back when audiogalaxy was in its prime.

Hahahaha! Audiogalaxy. Ah man...that brings back memories. That was the first site I used for music...

For software, it's been about 10 years now...maybe a little bit more.

what does 'pirating software' here imply?

are you talking about actually cracking software?

or just acquiring softwares that otherwise require you to pay good money for, in a free way?

if it's the latter, then I would say I have been acquiring these materials ever since RealPlayer 8 was released. that was when i popped my keygen cherry. i remember the maker, GanJaMaN, from CORE, probably the most successful RE group to have every existed.

So, that was in the beggining of 2001. (Around about the time when RealNetworks released their version 8 Plus Player).
