That was pretty much my outlook when I used to use torrents. Try before I buy. But that was more with films, software always semed to come with a cocktail of viruses.
It's easy to put too much faith in something like Peerguardian. I mean it's good and all but only as strong as it's lists are. You are never 100% covered but it's a dam sight better than nothing.
