Please, I don't want to pirate it.
1. There is only one person I know on a personal level that WOULDN'T hold it against me.
2. Paranoid of getting arrested.
3. Restrictive parents (Remember, they are the ones buying the parts)
First off, we're not trying to "peer pressure" you into pirating OS. None of us want to see you waste 100$, especially when Microsoft is a company of greedy fucks.
Second, "Paranoid of getting arrested"? That's borderline schizo yo'. It's not even illegal to own/receive pirated stuff, it's illegal to DISTRIBUTE it. The only people who are in any real danger are the people who upload it in the first place.
An example would be going to a flea market and buying a 1$ pirated movie. The cops aren't going to go to each person who bought it and arrest them, and even the guy who was selling the DVD's would only have to pay a small fine.
Third, why do your parents care so much? You're acting like they know more about computers than you, and even if thats true, then there would be no reason that they would be against pirating OS.
You have this misconstrued idea that the second you torrent a OS, the FBI are going to come and bust down your door.
