Prior to this bit of hyperbole, you made a number of good points that I
generally agree with, but "the worst moral scum on earth"? Really? Good golly
gee willikers, man! (Sorry for the strong language, but my gears get a tad
asynchronous at times as well.) Do you realize that there are villains out
urging others do the same. I do, however, have a point of view that differs
great majority of vendors would bring me down to their moral level, which is
more than sufficient impetus to prevent me from doing so. (Some indie folks and
the like are notable exceptions.) A large company that starts with an actual
product in order to initiate commercial intercourse (pun intended) and then
adds on every sort of deception, misdirection, hidden restriction and
misleading condition that they can possibly imagine to get as deeply into the
software pirates, but they are no less thieves in the moral sense.
I never have and, most likely, never will buy into the notion that having enough
forth by its corporate giants.
Best Regards,
