^^^ because some software companies charge prices out of their *** with no idea how bad their product is in real life. and well after a while you get tired of paying money for crap.

Not that Corel is a bad software, but unless you work in this area, how many times do you use it a year? 3-5 times? that is a way to little to pay $500 for only 5 times of usage. Most people will pay for a software they use 24-7, but not for one they plan on using once or twice.

Software is expensive to make. A lot of man hours, a lot of headaches.

If it's bad, use a competitors product. Of find some shareware/hippyware alternative. It's simple.

If you just use it five times a year, get a cheap shareware product instead of a full price studio product. If you're not making money off the software, get something cheaper. If you can't afford it, get something cheaper. If you refuse to pay that amount, get something cheaper.

There really isn't any justification in stealing something just because you can.

Sheesh, people here would probably download cars if they could...

Again, it's nothing more than an inflated sense of self entitlement people have.

We, the people, don't want to put up with expensive software! Well you, the people, should make your own software, then.

Sweet, not just $500, but $500 TWICE!

I prefer to download the product, try it, THEN purchase if my needs and budget can warrant it.
