   Just shows lack of respect of the authors of the programs in your 
country.. 
 So, because 90% of the country does it, you say it is okay?  Well, I find 
that really ignorant personally.  Just like saying if he does it, it is fine 
for the rest.

   I myself in the 5-8 years I bought software, I have spent well over a 
couple gran, or i should say, my father has ...  Oh and again, ignorance 
speaks.  So, if you had a job, and was worth 36 billion dollars, and shit, 
you 
wouldn't care if you got payed.  Yeah right.  You speak some real BS over 
there and well no pitty from me.  Bill Gates is not really an author ANYMORE 
anyways.  He runs the business, he pays people to do it, and those people do 
get paid lots of money.  if you are not eager to pay, than say, if you were 
to 
get BUSTED, microsoft has their own team of pros who HIT YOU HARD!  Know from 
friends experiencing that happening to them.  You'd rather risk your puter 
over a 30$ game someone spends their time into.?  I can see why Bill is worth 
so much now, the more YOU AND YOUR COUNTRY pirate his company ownership 
software, he decides to raise prices.  I bet ya if it weren't for you warez 
freaks out there who think you are all elite, than win `95 probably would 
have 
been so so MUCH cheaper..  LIke, look now, iwn 98 probably won't be CHEAP 
either cause I myself have seen 10s of thousands of copies of that floating 
around already.
   You see, I am more into supporting ALL WHO CREATES SOFTWARE.  The ones who 
pirate and do not create the damn stuff, they are just stupid unintelligent 
@$$#013$ that think they deserve something from the world.  Wrong!  They 
deserve nothing but a 10 year sentence with a $100,000 fine and no chance on 
parole.  Many here will disagree with that, but that is the way it should be. 
 
   It is your punk @$$3@ who make bill gates rich anyways.  Look at you, they 
DO raise prices do to PIRATING. forget it, I am getting to hateful of you 
warez kiddies..  rest will be discontinued, I do not wish to reply to it.
BB!
