Before no, now yes Jun 27, 2014 Shamelessly, i must admit that as a young translator, Trados aside, the rest was completely pirated. The reasons are obvious, setting up a full platform with original software would have meant investing a lot of money i didn't want to risk for a job that hadn't picked up yet. Now i pay for everything i buy but avoid anything with 'yearly' subscriptions if i can avoid. I feel very uneasy about using tools like Office paying a yearly fee.
At the same time i find some software very overpriced. There are legitimate uses outside of those made explicit Jun 27, 2014 Not if I'm using it to make money or if its use is primarily for the purpose of significant personal enjoyment. Only for figuring out how to make money through legitimate use of it. If the idea from day 1 is to use it to maybe make money, and you already know you will need to use a specific software for the purpose, then same deal, imo. Strong companies with strong products have much to benefit by allowing potential new clients to explore their software, and sometime pirated use is a good alternative.

At the end of the day, I don't think that anyone who is making real money on the back of some software is going to want to use the pirated version. For example, many students use pirated Adobe products while in school and learning. But once you're billing clients $5000 for the last job you did, the few hundred dollars or grand or two of legal and legitimate access is worth it. Lisa Simpson, MCIL MITI wrote: No.
Theft is theft is theft. No, that is not entirely correct. A variety of dissimilar activities are all classified as 'theft'. You get theft which has no impact on the victim and theft that does, you get theft that deprives the victim of what you're stealing and theft that doesn't, you get theft which requires a deliberate decision and theft that only becomes theft due to your inaction. You get theft which helps combat your own povery and theft that simply makes your life easier. The more specialised the software and the smaller the company that makes it, the more likely software piracy is going to hurt them. Both of these things (specialised product, small developer) apply to most CAT tools.
It does not apply to software like Microsoft Word or Adobe Illustrator. If moral wrongness is a sliding scale, then it is morally more wrong to pirate CAT tools. Two wrongs don't make a right. I never really thought about this platitude until you mentioned it in this conversation, and now that I think about it, I can think of many instances of two wrongs making a right, where it would have made it a wrong if one of the wrongs was a right. But I suppose it depends on whether the inital wrong is really a wrong. Some might say 'it is wrong for Microsoft to be such a big company' but that is not really wrong, but even if it was wrong, you wouldn't succeed in making it 'right' by stealing their software. Some might say 'it is wrong for poorer translators to be excluded from the rich market', and depending on your value system you may even agree with that, and if so, stealing Microsoft's software might actually help make right that wrong.

If you can't afford it, then fortunately there are several open source alternatives. While there certainly are many options for people who are dying to do the right thing, these alternatives are often rather limited in their usefulness. Still, it is perfectly possible for people to scrape together a living using free tools only. In fact, you don't even need a computer to make a living as a translator, if you work really hard, and isn't hard work the ultimate moral high ground? [Edited at 2014-06-28 09:25 GMT]. Discernment Jun 28, 2014 Thank you for your post - a good read - and for your discernment Samuel Earlier in the thread another poster (Dan) equated stealing a software copy with stealing food in a restaurant, I felt the need to bring some discernment but time didn't permit.
Hardly anything to add to your argumentation, a good job. I'll just say that in my view, on the moral spectrum of theft, at one end there's stealing the bike of a poor guy who can't afford better and needs it badly for commuting, and then reselling it for profit, and at the other end (or close to), there's, precisely, stealing a software copy (especially in the circumstances you detailled, where harm is limited). It certainly doesn't mean it's acceptable, but the moral wrongness is probably greatly inferior. 2 extra comments: - I goes (almost) without saying that stealing a company rather than an individual is not among extenuating circumstances, as obviously companies are made up of individuals. - I don't know what's the name of the concept (if it's been given one), but I seem to know that there are cases where the damage caused by piracy is actually NIL.
