Okay so you admit you’re not a lawyer but try being technical about something criminally-related while I have not stated that I was a lawyer and I based what I said off some research. Just so you can feel cute by adding a jab at the end of your little reply.

Yeah uh-huh, cute.

You don’t say?!

And in order to be forgiven within our online frathouse, we demand that you post several unfunny and recycled memes. We also require it that you join in comment chains to continue a series of unfunny, repetitive jokes that stopped being funny a decade ago. And lastly, we would appreciate it if you never uttered a single word that would displease our hivemind should we report you to our lord and savior, u/Spez.

“And because that my karma points are incredibly higher than yours will ever be, my words are like gold and yours is like dirt. I know exactly what I speak of and know everything of Linux on the back of my hand and in my sleep. Moderator, please displace the trash that has decided to speaketh within our vicinity as I make a fabricated report that you are just a filthy little ban-evader despite having only encountered you for the first time ever”

Hell, Lemmy can be this way too or some other instance somewhere else in the fediverse. It is almost inescapable.

“hey this is my work, what’s it doing here”

Uh so other people can discover your work which therefor, should be an inspiration for you as an artist, to keep going? Duh. Would you have rather it be lost to the sands of time and nobody to know you and what you done so you can be a nobody?

I mean in the past when torrenting was new and very white hot, some artists actually torrented their works and got discovered that way. It was a badge of honor.

They can do that but I’m sure there are workarounds. I just briefly did a google search on ‘Windows activation workarounds’ and I already see some methods and people talking of them.

So again, Microsoft can fuck themselves.

I end up sometimes giving up on having the thing. Because sometimes it’s an effect of just feeling personal greed.

But I will almost never give in and pay for the thing. Some things out there, aren’t worth the price and even if the price was right, it’s not worth the support.

Like Microsoft, I’ve not paid for a single Windows OS in my entire life. I’ve always gotten Windows second hand or buying machines off from people who happen to have the latest Windows on it.

Adobe, haven’t paid a single penny for their Photoshop program, kept pirating.

Part of pirating is just wheeling and patience. You will eventually, one day, get what you seek.

Ha! I’m good until 2032 so fuck you, Microsoft!

Yeah I know. I don’t get people’s irrational need to ruin something that’s going good. Christ, big run-a-mouths are the reason we’ve lost some good piracy sources and services.

We are currently in an active war over information and content.

So, I would say just do it. Do what you can. Do it for yourself, do it for a cause, whatever, as long as it isn’t corporate dictating what we can or can’t have.
