I heard or read that now adays it was supposedly almost impossible for people to pirate XP, due to improved systems etc.etc. If people can pirate XP with all microsofts resources then what chance have other software developers? |

Whenever you have a situation where one man has something more than another
man theives will exist. And will continue to exist as long as there is things to steal. Its a sad fact of the world we live in. "srd" wrote in message newspskdmaqna9bhpqa@jq0arm4...

I hope that Microsoft is able to fix the problem because it raises prices
for legitimate users as well as hurting the computer industry. I have noticied a laxadasical (uncaring, unconcerned) attitude towards people so called borrowing (eg. stealing) software from a friend and then installing it on their computer and thus having two copies of the same software when in reality the EULA only allows for one installation.

More like the high prices give rise to pirtated versions being profitable and people copying friends' software because they can't afford to pay MS' high prices. Some people call using pirated versions due to economic necesity stealing, others, like the Spanish courts, call that fair use. The reason MS charges so much has nothing to do with piracy and everything to do with "because they can". -- Alias Use the Reply to Sender feature of your news reader program to email me.

So this chap would rather spend his time trying to cheat Microsoft and not
just spend the time to do legitimate work so that he could buy a legal copy. I may be financially strapped at times but it does not override my moral code of resorting to stealing even if Microsoft is indeed charging too much for their software. "Leythos" wrote in message ...

I turned down a job the other day because I was told that the chap used a key gen program to make his XP Keys - he even said they worked with SP2, but that it took about 50 gen'd keys to get one that worked. I didn't verify it and wanted nothing to do with the job or anything else. Since the 70's people have been claiming they can secure programs from pirates, and I've never found one that worked for long - even the dongles were duplicated shortly after they came out. -- -- (Remove 999 to reply to me) |

Price has little to do with it.
Thieves steal because that is what thieves do. The thieves would steal at any price. But because of their nature, they attempt to justify their theft because of high prices. It is a very lame excuse. Please show a source that shows the Spanish courst supporting "people copying friends' software" as fair use. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/ "Alias" wrote in message ...
