Russia is great, i always come back with a bag full of disks. I'll by some stuff like games and really useful utilities, but being 16 i don't have the income to buy something like photoshop illustrator flash fireworks and dreamweaver etc. let alone all of them And so the companies would call me lost income or whatever but i wouldn't have bought it if i didn't pirate it, simply because i don't have the money. In fact they can call me gained custom for the future, cause i've already got a central set of programs i won't stop using which are all Warez, but in the future there's a 99% chance that if i get to work in that kind of stuff then i'll get (or get my employer to get) all those programs legally, because i'm used to them, which is a plus for adobe and macromedia etc. Also if you don't try stuff out then you don't figure out what you like, i've got several hundred cd's of warez that i never use cause it's not for me. I read reviews that rant on about how great product X is, but i didn't like the product, and i'll never use it, and if i'd bought it i'd have a helluva time returning it.
Games also, i have maybe 4 or 5 boxes of crap games that i considered buying, but the games i do like and play i have purchased, Deus Ex, UT, Q3, C&C and many oldies. Every visist to russia sees me coming back with a few hundred programs, of which I might use only 10 regularly. That's proof that there is a lot of crap out there, and warez helps you sift through it.
