I heard or read that now adays it was supposedly almost impossible for
people to pirate XP, due to improved systems etc.etc. If people can pirate
XP with all microsofts resources then what chance have other software
developers?

What you heard is incorrect.
Thieves will always find a way to steal because that is what thieves do.

This proves that if thieves exist, they will always steal, not that
thieves will always exist.

Whenever you have a situation where one man has something more than another
man theives will exist. And will continue to exist as long as there is
things to steal. Its a sad fact of the world we live in.

I hope that Microsoft is able to fix the problem because it raises prices
for legitimate users as well as hurting the computer industry. I have
noticied a laxadasical (uncaring, unconcerned) attitude towards people so
called borrowing (eg. stealing) software from a friend and then installing
it on their computer and thus having two copies of the same software when in
reality the EULA only allows for one installation.

More like the high prices give rise to pirtated versions being profitable
and people copying friends' software because they can't afford to pay MS'
high prices. Some people call using pirated versions due to economic
necesity stealing, others, like the Spanish courts, call that fair use. The
reason MS charges so much has nothing to do with piracy and everything to do
with "because they can".

I've noticed a "laxadasical" attitude in some people towards the spelling
and pronunciation of "lackadaisical."

And it doesn't mean "uncaring, unconcerned" either. It means "lacking
spirit, life, zest" according to Miriam-Webster.

Price has little to do with it.
Thieves steal because that is what thieves do.
The thieves would steal at any price.
But because of their nature, they attempt to justify their theft because of
high prices.
It is a very lame excuse.

Please show a source that shows the Spanish courst supporting "people
copying friends' software" as fair use.
