I feel guilty about using pirated software what should I do?

Try Ubuntu or Linux Mint. They're free, and therefore won't give you a guilty conscience.

You cannot pay for the original right, then go for Beta, free-ware, Open-Source. You can get any kind of software which is good in these categories. Want Windows Operating System?

Then Go for Windows 8 Beta - it may have some instability and errors but it's free and completely legal.

You have two options open for you 1. Purchase a Legal Software and feel free. No tension.2.

If you are not able to purchase, just keep your guilty aside and keep on using those software silently. Other option is: Install a LINUX OS and use it.

Then don't use them. Use genuine versions of softwares. If you cant afford them,just use open source softwares like linux etc.Even though Windows is expensive,its worth it.

I hope it will help you to feel better:- First install Ubuntu 11.10 it is linux. And it has lots of software packages that are totally FREE! And The softwares that are totally free on linux are of thousands of dollars.

Here are the alternatives for ubuntu of windows. Photoshop = Gimp(for shadow effects you can install a plug-in called layer effects) Dreamweaver = BlueFish(you can customize its color highlights) And it has lots of softwares you can install via software center like VLC player FileZilla etc. And finally you can install KDE plasma desktop on Ubuntu 11.10 by clicking here apt://kde-standard and believe me there will be lots of similarities between Windows 7 and KDE plasma desktop and again it is totally FREE and 100% legal :-) I hope you will try this and will feel good. Best Regards.

Own experience Click here to install KDE Plasma Desktop apt://kde-standard.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
