Piracy can cause a busniess like Adobe to put more restrictions on their software, and spend money on making it harder distribute their software for piracy. A company might have to raise prices a little from a huge hit if someone where to be doing something like this for a while or world wide.
Putting shareware and freeware software out there makes the value for the software less, so companies make less, but not as many people will find use with priacy towards their software.

Snow day
I had to get up at 8 to go over to my sisters house. Got over there and instead of sleeping i just ended up playing cod untill about 1. Walked up to burger king with my girlfriend, then back to her house. About 3 i had to walk my niece home from school. Had to stay at my sisters to wait for my brother to pick me up to go to my parents pizza place "Bailey's Pizza". Stayed till about 7 then went home and watched invader zim.
