piracy

When is it okay to pirate software, if ever?

I think that you really shouldn't do it. i don't have an ipod or any Mp3 but i wouldn't pay for like 1000 songs if i had a nano or something. I wouldn't pay for the songs.

Is the author correct? Does piracy encourage people to BUY things?
Piracy does encourage you to buy things at certain times, so i do think that it can encourage you to buy the actual thing, but at the same time if you got a sample for free why buy the real one?

What should movie companies do to stop piracy (if anything)?
nothing, older people will still buy it so they are getting some money.
