Comments on: BSA Poll: 60% of College Students Know Where to Download Software Illegally http://www.zeropaid.com/news/9857/bsa_poll_60_of_college_students_know_where_to_download_software_illegally/ Wed, 15 Feb 2012 04:36:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: mountain_rage http://www.zeropaid.com/news/9857/bsa_poll_60_of_college_students_know_where_to_download_software_illegally/#comment-178790 mountain_rage Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-178790 Wouldn't it be great if students could afford 700$ pieces of software. Do they expect students to pay 100$ for a 1 year license? Not likely. Students try and save anyway they can and if software is required for their class they will definitely pirate it. Personally for software I mostly use open source solutions currently all software on my computer is legitimate. Wouldn’t it be great if students could afford 700$ pieces of software.

"60% of the students told pollsters they “know where to go on the Internet to download software for free or at a discount.”" They didn't specify that the software wasn't freeware nor that the discount places were not legit. Most students know they can get discount software from their college like Microsoft Student Alliance. They are just trying to scare people with retarded logic. The survey mentioned is misleading.
