I do kind of agree about the ridiculous pricing of software. What does Autodesk 3DS Max have that makes it worth $3,000 when with Google Sketchup and all the needed plugins which would come to about $125 total can do exactly the same thing and much easier? Some game making software too, pay $0 to make games for yourself but to license and sell games it will cost you $5,000 to $15,000 for a piece of paper saying you can sell them. No wonder game prices shot up high so people can recoop their investment. In some cases I did not care what SOPA would do but others, being an american and knowing we have a constitution that gives rights to us that SOPA is taking away. Either do right or burn that worthless piece of scrap paper if it means nothing anymore.
