For abusing my offer, I will charge you double...:)
Piracy is a very serious problem. Linux vendors like Redhat and SuSE need the
revenue from the sales of their boxsets to continue their development work
and contribute to the linux community. Don't shoot yourself in the foot just
to save a couple of dollars. Where will linux be in a couple of years if
users steal from those companies and run them down? Support your own
community in whatever ways you can....:) Money, codes and evangelism will be
fine.
