[QUOTE="schweb, post: 126427, member: 59"] According to the US Government and the government of most other civilized countries, software piracy is theft. Perhaps you should take the definition issue up with them. ;) Theft does not have to be a tangible object my friend. Check the law books. Either way, I'm amazed that you're fighting this so much. Piracy is wrong. Despite whatever minutia you feel the need to argue over it is irrelevant. The act of piracy is both illegal and morally bankrupt. Despite trying to justify it by playing word games it will always be illegal. There is no justification for denying someone their rightly earned ability to sell something to the public regardless of what you want to call it. As for your quoting the guy who said he'd just use linux if he couldn't copy windows, then why doesn't he just use linux instead of doing something illegal? I'll tell you why, because he needs Windows for something. Some program. So feature. In the end if Windows could not be illegally obtained, it's almost a certainty he would buy a copy. [/QUOTE]
