I have over $7000 worth of pirated production software (i do pay for games! well most of them...) on my computer, now how the hell am i suppose to afford to pay for all of it while going to university?
Criminals who rob and and steal and kill people use that same ''how else I am going to get it?'' mentality. Although still quite expensive, companies do sell educational versions. Almost all of the 3d packages ship a freeware learning edition as well.

All i am using it for is learning, so i dont see the harm done....My exp with my pirated software has already landed me 3 internships, including my one with EA this summer...
You used the software to enrich yourself, ie land and intership that could/might lead to a job. You gained from the software, but the company did not.
You are right one thing though, This could be your last post. Also its not very smart to admit you are breaking the law on a site where your identity(ip add''y) can be tracked and reported.
