Avoid using words like this..

Well this might be PIRACY (stealing the car) but how that is related
to GNU/Linux ? If you mean using un-authorised copies of Microsoft
Windows then you are wrong. When you take my car I don't have anymore
of it but if you take a copy of my Microsoft Windows it is a different
case, It does not affect me at all (unless Microsoft finds it out and
sues me -- a remote possibilty and there is no evidence that I gave
you this other than you and me [may be you say the serial -- if I
myself got the un-authorised copy ! then] )


Take care buy
