Nah, I'd still download illegally even if the software was free.

eonbar is just really niceeonbar is just really nice
the immateriality of software doesn't invalidate the legality/morality of stealing it. unfortunately there have been a few things which i have nabbed from the net, but that only supports my statement in that im immoral, yet realise it

I would never have bought software like Logic Studio before downloading it first but i did in the end. I hate it when people think they are so awesome because of their "great" morals and are against all this illegal stuff when in theory an illegal downloader like myself actually buys MUCH more than i would have if it wasn't for the illegal market.
