It has to do with copying (stealing) software you haven't paid for, not to mention agreeing to a contract when you install the product and then reneging on your word.

There is a world of difference between copyrights (which are broken but fixable) and EULAs (which are generally considered to be unenforceable.) But since you seem to be incapable of differentianting between copyright infringment and theft, I'm sure the distinction is lost on you. Then again, the distinction between your head and a hole in the ground is probably lost on you as well.

You might not have ever done that, but based on your entire attitude, a liberal attitude, I'd bet plenty you have done it dozens, if not hundreds of times.

I'll take a piece of that action. Only a fool bets when he doesn't know the odds.

Anyway, carry on. This conversation is going no where and I'm sure you will never be reformed but always think that things are free and your word is just a tactic to get what you want.

Well, for once you are right. This conversation is going nowhere. Because you are an idiot. I wil never be reformed because I can read the Constitution and I understand that what passes for copyright today bears little resemblance to what the original intent of the founders was (and you might want to take a look at the front page of this site on that subject) and what I want is a return to fair and just copyrights.

You can have the last rant. Use it to justify theft to yourself, you will never convince any ethical person.

I don't have to convince any "ethical" person. Not that you fit that description anyway.
