Software piracy is the unauthorized use of software.
I saw cheap software at a weekend show at my local civic center. Be careful and report it to SPA if the deal is too good to be true. There are several reasons to avoid pirated software.

Fourth, there won't be another version of your favorite software if there is no revenue to put back into research and development.
