I think this counts for the majority of the community, except for avirex maybe:
Noone looks down on people with pirated versions, we just don't help them out with technical issues. Quite a lot of the pirated WA versions have their flaws, i.e. this "New Edition" - update it to 3.6.29.0 (latest) and it won't run anymore.

So it's probably better to invest $5 for a great and timeless game and enjoy it to its fullest.
