When is it okay to pirate software, if ever?

Yes, i think that at times theres no other alternative to pirating software. I have pirated some oftware before but it was because i needed a given program but was not willing to pay some of the high prices for them, bieng only 16 years old.


Is the author correct? Does piracy encourage people to BUY things?

Welll yes, sometimes pirated software isint the real program and may sometimes have flaws, and when someones likes a program and dosent want to deal with the flaws or restrictions of pirated software.


What should movie companies do to stop piracy (if anything)?

I dont think they should do anything to stop pirating, or well, atleast until the problem becomes a bigger issue. Now a days, people flood the movie theatres and companies like Netflix are booming, showing that people still legitamately go to movies and arent pirating software. Just a couple of weeks ago Spiderman 3 broke records, clearly showing that people are watching movies, and that the pirating issue is not as big a problem as its blown up to be.

This artcle had to do with the possible integration of video games with education. Its a good idea not only for the purpose of it having some educational value, but also it will help students do something other than reading, boring worksheets, and paperwork. I think, with moderation, that this should be added to the current school's cirriculum.

Stricter rules need to be set in place for schools to be more focused on learning. If we give people less leeway they will focus more on their schoolwork it will motivate people to concentrate on learning and their schoolwork. The way things are set up now, you can retake classes over and over, and the students are just not motivated. Students should get one chance to make it through high school, the standard four years, and if they fail out of their classes, its over, im sorry, go find a job. This may all seem very drastic, but the thing is that way too many tax dollars are spent on kids in school that have no intent of learning; in fact, they come to school to cause trouble and chaos. Instilling these harsh rules and will have many positive effects: it will weed out kids that come to school for other reasons besides education, thus, lowering misbehavior, it will also reduce class sizes, and improve the quality of schools. Stricter rules need to be set in place.
