Illegal Downloading

[Decode]

Yes i have, only programs i've ever downloaded is ones which are free like Speedfan, Coretemp and other monitoring programs, and ones like AVG, ZoneAlarms, CCleaners etc etc.

But say you needed a program that wasn't free, what would you do?

I don't think people generally NEED these programs, and if they really couldn't get by without them then it would be entirely possible to buy it regardless of cost - because necessary things always have priority over other things. It doesn't bother me really, but don't confuse want for need when it comes to stealing

It could be needed, if your disk had errors on it which was stopping you from booting you would need a program like spinrite to repair your disk.

No matter how secure they make, someone will generally always find a way around it.

Illegal downloading is virtually impossible to prevent. There are too many people who supply everybody with downloads and there are too many sites and programs that allow illegal downloads. Even if such programs and sites were closed, people would still rip DVDs and CDs and send them around etc.

md5hash the whole program

There's always a trade-off between security and use-ability. That would be pretty secure, but basically impassible to use.
