Microsoft To Begin Checking For Piracy

Curious Yellow 82 writes "Microsoft will begin checking for pirated copies of its Windows software when users attempt to update. Security updates are supposed to be exempt from the check. Upon detection of pirated software the user will be given the oppportunity to purchase a legitimate copy of the software for a discounted price, upon providing proof of purchase etc."

Stop comparing piracy to real items.

For the last fucking time, getting updates for a pirated copy is NOT the same as stealing a car and expecting them to fix the engine.

What half of you don't realize (those who continue to use those analogies) is that your argument completely falls flat on its face at that point.

The many many paragraphs you type after that are immediately useless.

PLEASE know what the fuck you're talking about and show just a LITTLE bit of intelligence before making a conscious decision to take part in a discussion - thank you.
