Piracy, Freeware, Shareware vs. Society

I think that we are in a tough position with software piracy. We try to take great precations to prevent the piracy but everytime someone can break through the barriers and break the law. I have no input for the people in charge because I think that they are doing everything that they can. The endless piracy effects our society greatly because the freeware software may have to become shareware as an extra precaution. It is not fair to the people that are using the software for enjoyment and learning purposes.
