What are your thoughts on piracy when it comes to education?

Useful.
1.Make sure kids only learn your software
2. ...
3. Profit
Examples Autocad, Photoshop, Maya

Autodesk knew every pirated version available, they were all subtlety broken (you would run a hidden command and your beautiful 3D model would flatten)

So, tacitly allowed and encouraged!

The options that are offering companies for students aren't available most of the time in third world countries (I live in one btw). Here I have no other option really. I even pirate textbooks because fuck I can't get one from those fucking libraries.

Software? No. Every school with a good reputation has special deals for students for the software they need.

Literature? Hell yes. Knowledge should be a human right and free for every student in my personal opinion, no matter if it's a handbook, a research paper or a "...for dummies" book.

Governments talk about granting access to education to everyone but than school requires you to buy a book you have no money for! If education receive more funding piracy won't be an issue! Plus there's websites like https://www.writemyessayfast.ca/
