But you also admitted to trafficing in pirated software too, flatfish.
Remember how you were explaining all about how you supposedly owned
some software, but you ran pirated versions on your system so you
didn't have to deal with the copy protection/authentication hassles.
Also, remember how your friend gave you a XP corporate version and
your license is not being paid for.

Your post was totally honest Donn, you are reproach in my book.
Pirating Windows, then destroying the software after reviewing it
is not a crime of any note. Pirating software, using it as your main
OS and giving copies to your friends is something else all together.
Microsoft arent interested in Donn, but they'd love to visit flathead.

Amen to that! MS has been holding back the computing world for so long
now. Come to think of it, which standard have they invented that is in
widespread use today? The most popular scripting language on web sites
is JavaScript, which was invented by Netscape corp. They really are
shut out in all standards, except for Windows itself being so widespread
on the desktop. MS could've been a more respectable company, but they
shoot themselves in the foot time and time again, and still do it to
this very day.

LOL! I'd like to see a videotape of what transpires during that
visitation! You'd probably see flatty screaming "NO!! NO!!!!!", while

to spray him with mace, and whack him on the head a couple of times with

It would never happen, and terry is an idiot yet again for first implying,
then coming right out and saying that microsoft would be interested in
gary's pirating behavior.
Turn your brain on and think about how much it would cost to nail gary for
one XP license. Microsoft does not go after individuals; its far too expensive.
They go after companies. Having been involved in the recieving end of one
of their offensives, I know this for a fact.

So hopefully the BSA and Microsoft will be going after the company that
let Gary pirate MS-WindowsXP from them.

Piracy of software means making a large number of copies of the
software and selling it. Making a copy and playing with it
is not piracy, although Microsoft and the BSA are willing to so consider
it if the take is large enough.

No. The number of copies you make has nothing to do with it. Piracy
means copying the software against the terms of the EULA, period.
That means burning a copy, installing a leagal copy on more than one
computer, borrowing someones CD key, etc, etc. Unless you
have the original CD and the key that came with it, that's pirating.
It's also worth noting that I've seen linadvocates in the same group
argue this very same thing I'm arguing, and everyone jumping in to agree.
But when it suits your argument you switch positions. Liars and hypocrites.

Yes I do. I still have the copy burned onto a CD-RW. I haven't
over-written it yet, although I plan to in the future. But it's not on

I don't trust you at all, dude. You've been calling me a pirate, and
some others in here hinted that I was a pirate, so I took it off my HD.
I can't trust anyone that keeps calling me a pirate. Besides, if I
really wanted a copy of XP, $99 for a legal copy is no big deal. I
could care less about Windows and Microsoft. Why, I couldn't even get
my scanner to work with XP.
Anyhow, I'm boycotting Microsoft products anyways. Of course, I'll
suffer a little. But my philosophy is that Linux and BSD are the great
equalizers of mankind -- they put us all on the same level. Beggars and
prices alike have access to this great software, whereas before, only
princes can afford a legit copy of XP Pro Corporate.
So, I am suffering a little. But all men must suffer in order to get
their Great Reward, no?

You're obviously too stupid to read headers... Show me a post that I
made since my profession to remove XP that states that I was using "NT
5.X" in the headers. I dare you. Am I running XP now? Dumbfuck.
Since I made the confession, all post made with Communicator say "Win
95", not "Win NT 5.0" in the headers. Go on and find a post on google
that proves I used XP since I confessed to pirating it. Show us the proof.

Cant be done. A large number of those copies is from a single master that was
released by a certian group (read the .nfo file) who cut the umbilical microsoft
cord.
They do not phone home and cannot be disabled.

Dont get me wrong, I dont give a single ratshit about piracy of any kind.
It has always existed, it will always exist, and the incredibly high price
of software has nothing to do with it at all.
I was merely invoking an interesting example.

Flathead is the one in trouble, not you Donn.
Donn told us he d/l a cracked copy of XP, tried it then deleted it.
Flathead told us XP would never enter his house, then starts using XP, and
tries to give a illusion of legality by explaining that its a corporate
license, only the corporation license his copy belongs to, it isnt
the flathead corporation.
This is typical white collar crime and flathead has no defence your honour,
take the prisoner forn the dock.

Spoofy,
You would find that life would be so much better if you actually
demonstrated that you had the brains to post replies properly .. right
now, you're just showing that you're too much of an idiot to be taken
seriously by anyone.

I think it's a thing called "projection", where one makes it look like
someone else has that particular person's faults. I see it all the
time. He's trying to shift the blame, that's all.

Their computer will simply cease to function, and they'll have
to negotiate with Microsoft for a new version and/or license
key and/or whatever. Or they'll have to buy another version
of XP (extra outlay, yuck).
If they can prove to MS that they legitimately acquired XP
(copy of store receipt, XP certification #, photocopy of
the XP faceplace which has a hologram, etc.), then hopefully
Microsoft's Customer Certification Department [*] will ship them
a brand new XP for no charge. However, that's entirely up
to Microsoft, as it should be, barring fraud or misrepresentation.
Ditto on what may be required for proof -- after all, that XP
disk might in fact be stolen, and not by the person buying
it, either!
(This is obviously not a problem unique to Microsoft, although
Microsoft's monopoly on the desktop makes for interesting perturbations.)
I fail to see a problem here, although it depends on the extent
of the licensing "outage" and how Microsoft treats its
customers, real and potential. I also don't know how well
their activation works -- one hypothetical is that it fails
because the user changed too many things (RAM, disk drives,
CPU, etc.) in his system at once.
One attractive function of Linux, of course: no license fees. :-)

Dumb question: is that for a full XP install (i.e., onto a virgin
computer) or for upgrade only? I thought XP (full) retailed
for something like $299, or even $399.
I'll admit, I've not checked lately, though. :-)
