laziness, at not wanting to find it for free

what motivates them? need for something like a job, want so they can use it for entertainment, desire to use it. Of course this is the way things are done LEGALLY to ensure no one goes to jail for said transaction. From a cheater’s point of view, it would probably be less of a hassle then getting it by illegal means.

He usually hasn’t discovered where he can get it free.

The reason is that they would prefer their computer to do more than sit there as a door stop.

People are probably most likely to purchase programs that a) do a task that no free software does, or does as well, b) is difficult to pirate, c) is inexpensive, and d) is more likely to be used by people for whom money isn’t a big problem.

It’s the same reason that motivates a person to purchase most things: a need (or a want) to solve a problem or give pleasure.

By purchasing software one gets the sense of ownership and freedom for executing it in many ways. And more over it is legal!!!
