Well at least there not sueing the people that get this type of software. wink wink or download it. shudder shudder

Daa

I would rather get sued then spend 3 years in federal prison thats what happen to those guys and yes MS did start out suing pirates now they have them thrown in jail.....

Duke i meant the end users.that buy this stuff

The users are probably the ones that are turning the prirates in. The key codes for Microsoft products are only good for 30 days. You have to register to get a permenent key code. The users complain that their product does not work and help MS go after the pirates. You can't get updates to existing software without a good key code.

I suspect MS is sueing all the offenders then referring half of them to the police. By sueing, they can turn a profit on the venture.

LOL, I think they missed a spot in India!
I go there Nero 8 30 rupees! (thats 0.763553 USD)
photoshop,Vista, Corel DVD you say!
I dont buy there as to chances are you will get ripped off.

qu1nt3n, the danger is obvious. MS will not make every dollar they think they are due. I do love how the slippery weasels can spin smoke to try and conceal their true intentions.

I has occured to me that Microsoft has made it next to impossible to pirate software for several years. The pirated software is either hacked or what might be real scary is they are pirating old stuff. Would't that be wild?

Its funny how Australia is not in the list of countries that are getting lawsuits filed against them.
