If you’re using OSS as I think you are as Open Source Software, then you bring up an excelent point. Open Source Games are great because many of them come out for other Operating Systems (such as Linux and Mac). They are free and the author has put the source code out so that programmers can even make changes to them as they find bugs or just general enhancements.

You forgot to mention OSS games. Many of which are available for free on Windows also.

On the point of copying games, the programmers spend a ton of time and energy on these games and copying them doesn’t help get them paid so that they can make more games for us to play. Please don’t copy games.

Oh, hey, buddy … this evening we went to the Frog Leg Inn with the Gardner’s and your cell phone came across the table. It seems you left it in their car last week. No, no, really, I promise not to use up all your minutes!

Chiming in from a dad’s point-of-view, with dad being a programmer like Aaron is, don’t just copy a friend’s copy so you don’t have to buy your own. Not only is it unethical, it’s also illegal, and happens far too often than either Aaron or I probably like to mention.
