Well, I think I've explained my feelings on the matter pretty well... but I'll reiterate!

Pay up for crappy software that you can't modify or run on the OS of your choice (except Maya, it runs on several, needs to... linux and IRIX are the main things used in high-level industry these days), nor can you have your programmer modify it for you.

Or you can download good quality Open-Source software. I think breaking copyright is wrong, though I think that Lawrence Lessig is right in the fact that the current laws are absurd, that doesn't mean we should just ignore it however, especially when there's such good alternatives available.

As for autodesk, I'm highly critical that they'll care in the least, but good luck.
