I am a 'she'. ^_- Note for future reference.
And when torrenting was not an issue for me in the past, it's become even more of an issue because I am well-read in law, and the last thing I could do is torrent stuff because that would go against what I stand for and what I've been qualified in.
The way I see it, Image-Line have been offering many perks for anyone who purchases the software -- in a way, FL is the software that keeps on giving once you've bought *a* licence. Lifetime free upgrades are pretty much why most people use it.
While I do wish for a society where money is no longer an issue nor a thing of concern when it comes to software, and everything can be shared freely, we haven't gotten there yet. If I purchase legit, I want to be able to help the more ethical developers do their thing. Granted, FL's ethics record isn't 100% the best, but it is certainly getting there. At least 'lifetime free upgrades' means that they're serious about wanting to provide.

If you don't have a job, you can torrent. No shame in that.
However, if you see a game or song you really like from a growing artist, consider sending some dollars their way. There are youth packages in banks that allow underage people to open cash accounts to buy stuff online with low fees.

Hey,sorry for late reply :)
Well actually i've been torrenting long since i got a computer to download games and stuff.At first it was fun,but after that i just feel weird somehow.
The same with music stuff;i can't bear the feeling when i torrent something and use them for commercial purposes (again,thanks to Triosnyx for what SHE said to me xD).So yeah,no more illegal activities(except for IL's Fruity Loops studio which i cant buy now)
Also,apart from age restriction there is also geographic restrictions,and there's progressing fees and stuff...It's just too complicated for me and my parents dont have time.
Thanks for commenting anyway :)))
