I consider cracks for piracy and skyrim mods to be my first sort of taste into what open source can do.

I always found the digital market illogical and dishonest, the commoditization off infinitely copy-able resources sold using the same valuta needed for survival in a world with finite survival resources still feels wrong.

Once I learned that open source is not only free to use but often made with the passion that most for profit work places seem to allergic for i was completely sold (pun intended)
