i dont know anyone named Sally, and you know you havent paid for everything on your computer.
The only "unpaid" applications on my computer are licensed "freeware". I hunt them down with as much passion as anyone else.

Among other things, I teach photography. Any images I use in my classes that I have found on the internet I credit to the creator. I will use Tin Eye to confirm authorship of images if I am not certain where it came from. Or I will find another image. Using images this way is allowed under existing legislation.
Our friends got married in our backyard this past summer, and gave me 3 songs to play. We already owned 2, and I bought a the 3rd song from iTunes to stay "legal".
I buy the Family Pack of Apple software because we have multiple Macs at home.
As a photographer I create intellectual property, often in digital form. I want people to pay for my IP - it's how I make my living. I owe it to other authors of IP to respect their IP.
By being very careful about what I do regarding software and other IP, I can adopt a "holier than ... " attitude with confidence.
I don't know anyone called 'Sally' either, but 'Johnny' keeps getting a bum rap. And I had Sally Struthers on my mind after watching Steve McQueen in
Getaway last night.
