roofle !!

I bet 1 VB next QGL that you have to name the person you got the illegal software from before you are given a good copy. Reason being that they will sue the person and end up with more money than if they had sold the software legally in the first place.

Proof of purchase and details of its source have to be provided for verification

lol I can't believe I didn't see that :/

But my point still stands about why they need that info.

I think its pretty sad that some ppl buy pirated software believing that it is the genuine article.


I admit that there are some pretty convincing fakes out there, but on the whole they are pretty sad.

thats the most rediculous thing i have heard in ages. Microsoft aren't going to stop (or even hinder) piracy with this scheme.

If john average buys a new computer has the option to buy the legit copy of say, winXP for $300 or a pirate one for $10. If he knows that he can buy the $10 one and then take it to microsoft and get it excahnged for a legit copy (saving $290 in the process). He'd have to be fkn stupid to go for the ligit copy outright.

but he has to say where he purchased the $10 copy from... hence stopping them from selling any more 10 copies.
