Phyllis, I look on eBay a lot and I know that you can buy a lot of legitimate software on eBay such as what you bought with the Microsoft Windows. Microsoft monitors eBay extensively. I know because I am part of a group that reports possible piracy issues to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Why should consumers have to pay more for products because of people ripping off large companies? Unlike some members of this group. perhaps one, I believe that piracy is wrong.
