Don't Be a Pirate
In my previous life I was a software cop. I sold and managed software licensing sales and compliancy for an IT VAR to Fortune 100 customers.
This is just an opening post so I can open up our lonely, empty software category.. Here's some good, solid advice: Don't run unlicensed software products on your computer. The software cops could bust your door down any minute and sieze your computer and they WILL outfit you with a dunce cap and make you wear a puffy pirate-like shirt. OK? (LOL.) I still have the 1-800-RU-LEGIT keychain which is predominantly used by disgruntled employees to rat out their employers for piracy. I also cooperated with CAAST (The Canadian Alliance Against Software Theft) on many occasions. Anyone out there running unlicensed versions of software package risk being cuffed and facing torture by software companies so beware. A little bird told me that they're working on ways to send electric shocks through your webcam at you. TTFN, Please post useful subjects in this topic:)

Re: Don't Be a Pirate
No! The moral of the story is to stand back when Dana is reading posts! LOL
Coffee is better served than spat! ;)

Re: Don't Be a Pirate
moral of the story is if you're going to steal, make sure you don't get caught :)

Re: Don't Be a Pirate
Stealing is a dirty game, and it's terrible when you are on the other side. Imagine working hard to develop the skills to program a useful program only to have it stolen and pirated by thieves.
Gandhi named the seven greatest sins, and the first he named was wealth without work. He who steals luxury from the labor of others will surely lead themselves down an unhealthy and self-destructive path. Before the guilt eats such a person alive from the inside, the person will grow crooked from the laziness of stolen goods and lose a proper sense of value and work ethic.
