I my self used to use alot of pirated software, hell at one stage my computer was full of it. But im well over it, it is such a pain having to reinstall install apps constantly because of updates and blacklisted keys. And since i have found the world of freeware and opensource my computer has never been better, Out of experience i have noticed freeware/opensource programs are much better and do exactly what you need them to do most of the time, where as the commercial programs try cram as much Sh!t in there as possible to try sell the product which results in a huge download and bloated system dragging software that becomes such a pain that you end up not using hardlyever anyway! Ive learned my lesson wonder how long it will take the rest of the world to follow suit.
