It doesn’t matter if anyone’s “making money” from your piracy.  The copyright holder is losing money since you are using an unlicensed copy for free.  Pirating software is a crime, no matter if it’s friends “sharing” a program or a business selling illegal copies.   I’m all for free distribution of software.  That’s why I like the ideas behind Linux so much.  I may not agree with some laws, but they are still the laws and we should abide by them until we can change them.     …Sorry, I’m afraid that was more like my FOUR cents…  I’ll get off my soapbox now.   CJD     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 02, 2000 10:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Windows   In a message dated 02-Nov-00 04:47:33 Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: That's not exactly something I'd announce on a public mailing list. who in here supports microshaft making money??? with crapy software!!    besides they would have to do some serious searching to find me. and although ms has lots of money everyone i know pirates that stuff, if it is worth pirating, no ones making money, i dont have  a tech manual that comes with the software, so last i checked it was still legal. it all depends on how you do things
