Haha I remember that. I was in college when those sites came to be. I signed up, and posted flyers everywhere around campus.
I actually made quite a bit of money because of all the referrals I had. AllAdvantage paid me a bit over $2000 before they shut down.
I agree 100%. I just bought an OEM copy of XP Pro from NewEgg for about $135 (it was on sale) a week ago when I built myself a new PC.
Also note that 'with purchase of any hardware' means exactly that - *ANY* hardware. Even something as simple as an IDE cable. In fact, if you order an OEM copy of Windows from TigerDirect, they actually throw in a floppy drive cable in the box to make it legit.
The main difference between OEM and retail versions is the fact that tech support is not included with OEM...you have to pay for it if you want it (and what/. reader would?).
Well you all knew it was going to happen sooner or later. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner than this.

My guess that it uses some sort of flash memory, which is technicially not a 'disk'.
So by running this software, you are now 'notified' of any illegal files on your machine. This could easily used by the **AA against you in court.

"Also, those screenshots are horrible. The UI is totally non-standard. Why would anyone use that?" BECAUSE it's totally non-standard.
Awesome. I shoot all my photos in RAW format (.CRW).
