Naw, it's just the rating of the option that counts toward price. There are unrated and rated options though. Stuff like optimization is rated, while something like ergonomic is unrated. Psychotropic or Biofeedback are a couple of heavy options that are rated.
I take it you're not using the software piracy rules though.
For blackmarket software, pirated gear is de rigueur.
Finding a pirated copy of a program is detailed on p 94 of Unwired.
Here's the highlights,
However, with a little work a hacker can gain access to the
peer-to-peer file sharing networks of the Cracker Underground
(see Virtual Private Networks, below), where she can find and
download programs for a nominal fee.
Finding and getting access to an appropriate network requires
an Extended Data Search + Browse (8, 1 day) Test.
Once a character has made contact with the
Cracker Underground, he can start looking for some-
thing to download. To find a specific program on the
file sharing network, make an Extended Data Search +
Browse (Availability + Desired rating, 1 Combat Turn)
Test. Downloading the program to your commlink or
terminal costs 10 percent of the street price of the pro-
gram (see Program Costs and Availability, p. 228, SR4).
A glitch on the Search Test indicates the program is
not on the network, and the hacker must find another
network and try again; a critical glitch indicates the
character has downloaded a bogus program infected
with one or more viruses.
So, without an existing contact in the cracker underground, it should take a couple days of searching to find a hookup.
Once you've got access to cracked programs, finding the one described should be Data Search + Browse (22) test, which isn't out of the question.
