plus, windows' activation is pretty awesome right? You would have to have
the product key and then activate it right? Windows updates will right?
Not only that, but you rat a customer out for having a backup copy and they
may have lost their cd you can ruin your reputation. I know a lot of people
who own Dells' and they are disorganized and literally lose their windows
cds. And the people i know are a sm all amount. You may win a victory for
Microsoft on a small scale of one person, and like that other person said,
they mgiht buy a legal copy if otherwise, but you would hvae to keep that
news of your getting a customer in trouble secret. Even if customers know
you are legally correct for doing so, they may think twice about hiring you,
actually probably wont. Computers are private property that are in the
privacy of someone's home. You have to realize that in doing so you are
literally going into private property and doing quasi-culvert-KGBish
behavior. as one said you are not the one selling or doing anything or
promoting it, so you just do what you are hired and keep your liabilities
low.
The issue touches upon the RIAA, now how are they finding out about the
swappers? by the server? Ok, are they using legal means? Or are they
breaking in and looking then going to court? Well, if it werent for the
thrid party server would they find out? How would they? They would have to
break the law in order to do so, they would have to violate your home and
then spy and then do so. Especialy if you have a firewall which is a lock.
The police need a judge's signature before they can search it is kind of
odd how some corporations have rights the police dont. This touches upon
the core of American constitutional freedoms.
Back in the former Soviet Union people would rat other people out for
fear they would be put in Siberia. It is kind of weird how after the fall
of communism that our American corporations are utilizing it!
However, you have to respect Verizon and other companies who have
fought the sepenas by the RIAA. I dont illegally pirate music or anything,
but i surely will not support an agency who uses the courts to extort
customers. Especially when some of the peopel sued are not the ones who may
have downloaded music and then it goes well you should prosecute your son,
you shoudl prosecute your grandson so the RIAA can have their money, so you
are still wrong lol. One major reason i have not bought any music since and
will not buy any not only because i have enough of, but i dont feel right
supporting that behavior, because they are utilizing the courts and suing
because people buy it.
Then you have to wonder, how did they find out? Did they use illegal
means to find out the names on the server? So does that make it right?
Well, judges have freed serial killers because of wrongful searches. There
was a guy in Chicago a real sick killer, but thepolice caught him, blood and
everything, but the judge let him go, you know why? the police illegally
searched his truck and so therefore the fruit from the poisonous tree. Kind
of puts it in perspective, that the RIAA's policy is more important than the
police with killers!!! This turns the courts into punks for the corporates.
One has to analyze the judges and see what money they have and audit them
ferociously. Becaues the philisophical question is, if RIAA used illegal
means to find out the names, how can they benefit from it?
Well, you just dont want to ever get yourself known for something like
that, even if you are right!!! People will not want someone who has busted
someone on their private property on something like a windows working on
their property. They will think you are a spy. I would think that that
would literally break someone's business it would. So, therefore your
answer would be not to promote or to engage in any illegal activities. If
you dont feel right, lie to customer, tell them you dont have the time thta
you are packed and they can go to someone else. But reporting them is not a
good idea for you spiritually, it is not like it is porn or anything like
that.
