  1. Re: You really think this guy paid for W2K? on Jon Johansen Indicted by the MPA(A) · · Score: 2
    Do you really think this member of MoRE, an admitted cracker, PAID for a CPP copy of W2K?
    W2K RC2 was shipped with an edition of "PC World Express" (Norwegian Edition)1 or 2 months ago, several copies of RC1 (and possibly RC2) have been given out for free at several computer fairs around the country, so it would be very easy for him to get hold of a valid free copy. (I guess these W2K installs would have to be removed when the gold version hits the shelves here in Norway? - official release date is 17. feb).
    It IS legal to reverse engineer there - but NOT for the purposes of using that info to steal intellectual properties, which he did.
    Huh? You are saying that the app would be legal if their purpose had been legal....that does not makes sense. And how do you know what their purpose were when they made the app?
