Well, since every modder here has probably done this in order to obtain software to make mods, I (and maybe some other people) would like to know what the minimum and maximum Penalties are for Pirating said software (PS, Max, etc.).

Discuss.

They dont want anyone doing it... anyway, this is kinda pointless, you should come into the internet world fully prepared for stuff like this.
