In that case since pirated copies are bad, and evil, and God will smite small kittens if you use it, you should give Linux a try. Ubuntu is a decent distro with good support and after the initial setup you shouldn't have much to worry about if you're mainly using the internet and multimedia. There's also a lot of free open source software available for Linux in general. However, if Linux is too much up a jump, to keep from returning to you dastardly ways (and since you already have the pirated copy) you could try dual booting Windows and Linux (keep in mind that kittens will still be smitten, though less of them) and ease your way to using only Linux.
