To get the free licence you need to file a piracy report against the OEM
and provide a receipt for your PC. That's their ammo to go after the black
market OEM's. From there it all rolls uphill. They WILL find the people
distributing pirated XP into the channels.
As I'm sure Thane, Joe User & I have reported others to MSFT because they
installed the FCKGW version of XP but I can say without a doubt MSFT did
absolutely nothing to punish the people that were reported & now they
supposedly want to do something? I don't believe they'll do any more than
the WGA states on the surface. MSFT knows that if they tighten the noose
too much some one will take the whole EULA thing about them owning the
software & that all we're paying for is it's use all the way to the Supreme
Court.
