    I would say no because of copy right laws, IF it was ok and everybody did it PBP would not exist

    I would recomend you all save up for it and buy it if you can't afford it then one does wonder how you can afford to buy the parts for your projects :-)

    This forum is NOT the legal representative of the manufacturer, and if you have a query regarding the purchase, licencing or use of any software, then we suggest you contact the manufacturer directly at www.melabs.com

    The licence gives you the right to use ONE copy of the software on ONE computer AT A TIME. If you wish to form a co-operative and purchase the software jointly, then you are free to do so provided only ONE copy of the software is installed and used on ONE computer by ONE member of the co-operative AT A TIME.

    By your logic, if the whole world jointly contributed a fraction of the purchase price of only ONE copy, then the whole populous would jointly be entitled to use that ONE copy without restriction. Get real.

    If a co-operative buys a hammer, or screwdriver or tractor, then that item can only be used by one member of the co-operative at a given time. Software is exactly the same as any other tangible purchase. Just because digital (or analogue) media on a tape, or disc or other distributable form is easily copied and distributed, it does not automatically give anyone the right (either legally or morally) to do so.

    If you are an honourable person Mr Singh - as I am sure you are - you would want to properly and legally acquire and use your software or indeed any other items. Anything other than that is plain DECEPTION and THEFT regardless how you would want to dress the result to justify this in front of your God, religion, or just your personal conscience.

    IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...

    It doesn't actually matter Alain...

    We've all heard all the arguments ranging from "They are rich and we are poor", to "Bill Gates has enough money anyway"...

    Ultimately it comes down to personal pride and self-respect.

    Is it right to steal from another mans table (irrespective if he is rich or poor)? To feed your family if they were sick and starving might be a last resort and might have some moral justification, but it's not about that. Nobody rips-off copies of PBP, or downloads mp3's from Limewire or movies from TorrentPortal in order to feed their family.

    You're not clever enough to do your own, so steal from someone else who is. You're not honourable enough to buy it, listen to it or watch it legitimately because stealing is so much cheaper.

    It doesn't matter if it's PICBasic, Microsoft Office or an mp3 of The Beatles Greatest Hits. If you're willing to debase yourself to the level of a common theif, to deprive others of their labours for your own ends, then it speaks volumes about your character. Ultimately the price you pay is not nescessarily monetary...
