Stop software piracy

I am a software engineer myself. I make both Windows and Web based application. I particularly used java, asp, asp.net and c# nowadays. I know that cracks a great threat for software manufacturer. We make softwares and for publicity we give out the trial version of the s/ws for free use. But, there are many sites that are offering cracks, patches and serials for the s/ws for free. I don’t know what their motive is behind all this but it shouldn’t be done. Software manufacturers stay awake day and night to produce software and if they don’t get the money for their work then it’s a great tragedy. Software piracy is also a grave crime and laws should be very strict to stop such acts. So, I request all my readers not to use pirated softwares. If you are willing to use the software, you should also be willing to pay for it.
