Max is not cheap and it's more than a little patronising to act all pompus when it's damn unlikely you paid for yours. A lot games developers have at least a few unlicensed versions installed so it's hardly unreasonable that he asked. However I understand that advertising piracy isn't a good idea.

All legitimate game developers will have fully licensed copies. No self-respecting studio would run the risk of being hit with a theft conviction, especially when software piracy takes such a large chunk out of the game market.
Personally, I didn't pay for my copy - my previous employer did on my behalf. So I can sit in my ivory tower and cast disparaging looks upon those that have illegally downloaded it.

I can tell you for a fact that there are plenty of companies running illegitamate software, not just of MAX but of various audio and visual apps. Tho this is changing, FACT and STAR are both organisations looking to legitemise games developers, among others.
I'm not saying a developer would have all unlicensed copies, more a case of having a site license for 20 users and having 22 artists. i.e. two unlicensed copies.
As for games piracy, people who work at games companies are as bad as anyone else.

it's still a $3000 dollar payout. You people must have some rich friends. Do people sell old licenses on Ebay or something?
I've known companies that went bust sell on licenses cheaper, but afaik for most people if you want an individual copy of MAX then it's going to cost or it's time to head out to that warez site.
Personaly I don't see that much of an issue with people using cracked versions of max when it's in a non-profit capacity. I know plenty of artists who wouldn't have got into the industry if they hadn't had a cracked copy to learn on, and the more people who know and use max professionaly the better for 3d max.
Tho i fully agree that any established developer making money should pay for the tools they use. I learnt all the audio and video apps i use proffesionaly on cracked copies when I was a student. Naturaly when i started making a living out of it I got legitemate copies. Aside from anything else, it pays to have the tech support available.
GMAX is a great idea, but it teaches you nothing about particle systems, spline animation, character studio and a whole load of stuff you can't learn without max.
it's not the same in my mind as games piracy, if you like playing it, pay for it. If you want to know if it's any good, rent it, or download a demo. Your avarage game won't set you back 3 grand
Just my 2 cents

Character Studio is included on the Max CDs, but it's a separate purchase to activate it.

it is, but you need a seperate license to use it. Character studio is an animation and character rigging system, it makes animating bipedal characters a hell of a lot easier and more precise than animating using the MAX standard bones system. You can animate characters with more than two legs, but it starts getting complicated again then.
