Pirated XP

And piracy has nothing to do with price. There are pirated versions
of $5 shareware utilities available from the warez sites.

It has nothing to do with the price of shareware, I agree. I has to do with
the price in three figures of MS, Adobe, etc.

Only to those seeking an excuse to steel what they would most likely steal
at any price.
Since they are thieves, they steal...at any price.

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?

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.


Here in the UK it is considered not a criminal offence, therefore it is not
in the eyes of the law "Stealing".

According to UK law, if you copy a tape and your freind listens to that tape
the exact same copyrite violation happens. Only when you are actually
"selling pirated goods" does that then become a criminal offence. The words
"stealing" is not appropriate in UK law. That is why nobody has even legally
been prosecuted under UK criminal law for the act of copying a software
program.

You many call it theft by name but not according to the UK law. It is
"copyrite violation".

If this became theft in law, and was a criminal offence, I believe that this
would actually cut piracy alot. How many people will download a song if they
can technically risk prison, now, nobody can get charged with any criminal
offence adn cannot ever get a criminal record no matter what they copy and
download here in the UK

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.


I have read reports of these groups of hackers, it is not something they do
for money or financial gain, they are not actually making money from it I
believe. The actual hackers are actually highly intelligent programmers
(some of them), it is kind of like a game or a cult type of thing.

I am not talking about so called script kiddies, but they are serious users
who gain status from these activities.

Ask jupiter jones what a Spanish courst is for me. I plonked him a long

get his spell checker to working. TIA

Your feeble attempts to justify theft are noted and likely reflective on
you.

People work hard for their intellectual property just as others do in other
fields.
They deserve to be paid what they ask or the buyer simply chooses to go
elsewhere same as other fields.

I suppose you take charity, fruits of others efforts and contribute
nothing?
Or do you sell a product or service and yet seem to deny others the same
simply because it is intellectual property?
Good of you to judge that others can't sell at a fair price something you
are unable to provide for yourself.
Perhaps we should arbitrarily let others steal whatever you have with no
punishment even if caught!

David;
It seems like you are suggesting countries outside the US do not care about
IP?
If that is true, there is far less incentive to create it.
Perhaps that is one of the reasons a US company is so interested in IP
rights.

Here in the U.S. the music industry has started file suits against
individuals who download music illegally. They are sometimes given large
fines. Also, the movie industry is trying to stop too many movies from
being copied now that DVD burners have been out for a while.
