pirates tale.........

[fireman_ponc]

What would happen if i got 'caught' using pirate software?? In this case,computer aided design programmes. How much trouble would i get in???....Police,court?? or just a telling of by the manufacturer.?? Would it be worse if i was using the software to make money,such as a sole trader business?? Could i be fined? pay back earnings etc
Im using a few copy's of pirate software for 'home' use(college work etc), Are the risks to high if i was to start using it professionally while i got a business on its feet???
