Ok this is a blatant troll but I'll bite anyway. Copyright is not theft. Endless copyright may be wrong but that will change eventually. In the mean time we have laws and I still want to get paid. So whether you think so or not, copyrights and patents are there for a reason most of which involve me being able to eat and make the rent in order to continue to produce more software for you (collective not getting personal) to pirate.
Don't give me this crap again, stop dancing around the wrongness of it with semantics. You are wrong it's criminal. I feel I have been stolen from when an unauthorized copy of my software is made. At least you have deprived me of revenue. If you don't like it enough to pay for it or don't feel it's worth what I've ask you to pay stop using it period. If you continue to use and worse continue to copy it and pass it around you have stolen.
Yeah if you could hack a Peacemaker it would be something, I always wanted total control of a continental siege unit.
But if you meant a Colt Peacemaker, can't be done, and I have total control of mine!
I seriously doubt it,Verizon is still drooling and falling all over itself to get the iPhone. If you actually want to see the map, yeah we get a buck for that.
Actually the lawsuit was about the fact that Microsoft stole the library routines for mac os and called it windows. Which they did and as a stupid loophole in their contract allowed them to do it the judge had no choice. Microsoft was an Apple contractor at the time developing Office (Yes office was Mac only in it's first iteration).
Wow, an anon get's modded to interesting for stating garbage and I get modded to 0 for stating the truth. Slash Dot is great. There is no dot but slash.

Oh and Kudos for actually having a name!

Did it ever occur to you that "Call the Police" might be a metaphor?

Depends on your point of view I guess. When I am stolen from I think it's criminal.
Please don't be as as stupid as this anon idiot thinks you should be.
Software engineers, designers and the guys who advertise and sell the software want to be paid! Get your free info by generating it yourself.
brainwashed Apple zombie fanboi Nice ad hominem. But if you want to believe the FSF propaganda, go right ahead.

Sorry I took the blue pill this morning...
Grues only hang out near OSes that are Real Unix, so you are most likely safe. But don't blink, not even for a second...
The endless sunshine of a spotless mind, wonderful.

Hmmm good point, Ok well it tasted salty and roasty and peppery and had this sort of bland friendly taste. Is that better?
You are aware that Microsoft wrote OS/2?
And way too busy figuring out how to get things done to bother posting in these "ego identification bouts"
Yeah the old joke was "Mac '84 = Windows '95" and it was mostly true.

Yes but there is no mod for droll.
I had a virtual epiphany once, tasted like chicken.

Nope, I guess if you want to run OS X you have to spend a bit more Money.
If you weren't anonymous, I'd bother to post further. Get a Name bozo.
Except you only bought the physical disk it came on, the OS is merely a granted license. And this has been upheld in courts. So, you are wrong!
