@Willem, PIRACY - is when YOU SELL software, which you didn`t create.
SHARING - is when you GIVE your purchase to anyone, because you have RIGHTS to do with your priority whatever you want.

why should i convience myself, that SHARING is BAD, since it was NORMAL/OK for last 10 000 years?

So, what now, IF i borrow a BOOK from a friend and SCANNED some pages, i DID a crime? If i don`t buy a book, i can`t USE those papers? Just listen to yourself how RIDICILOUS you sound.


The situation with scanning pages from a book you are describing could be considered fair use. Fair use is a concept in US copyright law that allows for reproduction of small portions of the work for editorial or educational use. It's a fairly complicated legal concept.

Copyright law, however, says that distribution of copyrighted materials (even for free) is illegal

In other words, he does not sound ridiculous. He sounds right.
