Hats off to ya Chuck.

Mark, was your cookie comment an example of something smart to say, lame.

Mark, you are the poster child for everything that is wrong with society today. Corporations are people, workers and investors with familes and they deserve compensation for what they took years to create.

If it were only you who ever stole, then that would be one thing, but its assholes by the millions like you cost real people what they deserve.

My opinion is that you are a snot nosed punk with nothing to your name but big fat mouth and an over sized attitude that the world owes you something.

Anyone with real buisness experiance will have what it take to step up and pay for the play.

Never did I brag about pirating. Never did I say it wasn’t stealing, nor did I say ‘pirating software is better than buying it’, because I do still buy software, just not everything. The opinion that I posted is my opinion and mine alone.

But if you don’t like what I say, take some time to come up with something more intelligent than…

a) “No one think this is lame…except the thieves.”
b) “I don’t know which is more laughable; Vince’s moronic post, or Mark’s idiotic reply.”
c) “Just admit you like stealing instead of trying to make up an excuse.”

because..

A: Thief, okay fine. I’m a thief. But even if you set me straight pirates grow by the second, there’s no way to stop pirating.
B: And just like there’s not way of stopping pirates…there’s no way of stopping assholes post a blog comment.
C: Reread everything above and if you still have a problem with my ‘excuse’…I don’t know, you win. Have a cookie.

I posted my opinion about the subject, we don’t need your crude remarks here Scott. I’d suggest sticking with the Dora the Explorer forum and continue to diss on little children, it seems like it’s been working out for you so far.

Jackass.

No matter how you rationalize it, it’s still stealing. I don’t think you’ll ever understand until you run your own company and people are taking things from you, bragging about it, and trying to make it seem ok.

Just admit you like stealing instead of trying to make up an excuse.

I don’t know which is more laughable; Vince’s moronic post, or Mark’s idiotic reply.

I take what I need to help me get through these advanced times. With new versions of software updated weekly/monthly/yearly, you’re right in the fact that I am afraid of paying for a product.

I don’t see it right to charge large sums of money for a product by which after a few months it’s 50% cheaper than what you purchased it for. Then a few more months later there’s a whole new version out that you have to repay to use. What do you do with the old version? Can’t resell it can you? You lose your money, just like renting an apartment. You make no gains, it holds no value once a better version comes out.

People who commit auto theft like you mention in your comment with the bait cars, are thieves against others. Others like themselves. These are the real criminals, those who harm others. Who do pirates hurt? Do they hurt you Chuck? Do they raid your home and start pillaging your booty? I think we all know the answer to that one..

Pirates hurt no one except the corporation, which does consist of people…yet not a single persons. Take Microsoft for example…Pirating Vista may fault in say…Vista Home sales….but who cares, it’s a POS anyway. What do Pirates get? They get Vista Ultimate! They then learn how to use it, complain all over blogs about what’s wrong with it, Microsoft then reads those blogs to fix the problems, AND THEN all the Pirates go to work and tell their employers to upgrade to Vista…so instead of 1 single license, they get licenses for the whole company

It’s how things work!

Thank you mysterious man (…) for that additional info about the article not being true.

Thieves, low lifes, people of poor character need worry.

The police have been doing this fo awhile with bait cars, the cars run just long enough to allow the theif to drive off, and then the car quits. No one think this is lame…except the thieves.

I hope my computer isn’t Black when I get home from work…

It’s only Vista though right? Not XP? :p If that’s the case, I guess I’ll just have to use XP and wait until there’s a way around this BSOD (Black Screen of Dumbness)
