This is insightful? Seriously? The Anonymous OP stated that if you had millions. If it's a contract worth millions, Disney will make an exception for you to their TOS. No idea why this concept is so difficult for people to understand.
We're not talking about $19.95/month here guys. We're talking about a shitload of money.
Oh, I know the company - it was a Fortune 100 company, very very famous company. It was not a frivolous case, the guys who reported it saw it first hand, and was *TOLD* to perform piracy (imagine an equipment refresh, but with no Office licenses, but everyone was told to install office from this one CD..., or if you need something else, you were told to go borrow the CD).
Only problem is that BSA only screws small/mid size companies. I'm sure someone can turn this into a conspiracy lawsuit against them - since when have they gone after large companies? Never.
I know of at least two people who reported piracy to BSA, and BSA's response to the person who reported it was "we do not see any evidence of piracy".
And what's your fucking point again? The law clearly states that you can take the damned 1s and 0s and move them somewhere else for your listening/viewing pleasure.
you are kidding right? In any population there's going to be a percentage that are dicks. These are the ones who would take advantage of an opportunity or go out and spray paint cars or whatever.
When the cops are taken off the streets, they don't give a shit and go out and loot.
And you then come in being all dickish saying that all Iraqis are to blame?
Oh, wait... Nevermind mind, no wonder you don't see it.

He didn't actually say it was the least risky. He said best risk/potential benefit ratio.
... for the CEO.
For the rest of the company, not so much.
And this will do what?

They did not at that point in time.

Someone already mentioned how you can offer win2008 server + addon that makes it look like win7, and both were available over SPLA.
Why is something that is plainly untrue marked as informative? What the hell is wrong with the moderators?
And you know they're a thief because...? Someone already showed how they could be properly licensed.

Apparently Anonymous Cowards have a significant gap in understanding - where did I say employees are property?

It also wasn't $1.
Never had imaginary friends...?

How is a failing CPU equivalent to "if the hardware and OS is working correctly"?
I stand by my original statement.
A correctly written app should not crash, if the hardware and OS is working correctly (even if slowly).
Move the site/hobby to a new domain. You control original domain. set up a pointer for new domain. Done.
Unless you are offered shitloads of money, it's a pain in the ass to move domains.
why go so far? magneto opticals work too
Why? If they can write TB/s and store data at 15X of current capacity, and SSDs can't, why move to SSDs?
The read problem is easily resolved by having multiple read heads that can read independently.
Look at how Google went IPO. That's the right way to do it.
The one who offers the iPhone, as seen from Verizon's results, now that they can sell the iphone...
True for iPhones you buy from Verizon, not true for iPhones you use on Verizon, but bought from Apple stores
