Look, I already conceded that I have knowingly violated their copyright, and that I have no valid justification for it. And has already been pointed out, violating copyright is not "theft" - it may be illegal and/or immoral, but it's not "theft". In any case, I was just pointing out that if Microsoft want to bring people like me back into the fold, they might want to reconsider their pricing structure.
On to the next thing,,,I admitted it, I don't feel bad about it, I never apologized for it, and most important, IT'S STILL THE FAULT OF THE VICTIM!!
High prices are the cause of crime.
I'm really glad you did somthing illegal and immoral, but thank goodness it's not "theft" in your mind.
They shouldn't bring you "back into the fold", they should throw your sorry butt in jail.
