Nulled scripts are oftenly for developers the first approach to some applications, there are tons of people who try nulled scripts and buy them. But these are minimal, allmost allways developers that use nulled scripts get away with it and leave the software online.

These is probably the easiest way to tryout different applications when in search for a solution on a project, or perhaps to tryout some new very expensive software which is impossible to buy.

China is probably the place where more software piracy is used everyday, even Microsoft has taken desperate measures for generating revenues, aware of the millions of dollars in losses that software piracy represents

For small companies that depend on certain software for their survival, these is one of the worst scenarios.

It's stealing.
