HN Poll: Are You a Software Pirate?

I don't count my dayjob, since I just use whatever they tell me to use... I'm assuming we have valid licenses, but can't swear to it one way or the other.

That said, as far as my personal life and my startup project go, then no. I use exclusively F/OSS software and maybe a very small amount of "proprietary but free for use" stuff. So, Fedora Linux, Java, Groovy, Grails, Bash, Eclipse, JBoss, PostgreSQL, Firefox, Thunderbird, VLC, RSSOwl, Vuze ,Emacs, etc.

Yes, I use pirated software for both development purposes and personal use
