"Hi, my name is Shaun..."
Hey kids,
Long-time usenutter, new to this group. Just though I'd introduce myself. I live in New Zealand, make my own bread, largely in an ABM. I really entoy cooking, can't type for shit.... Guess I'll see y'all in the threads.... -- Cheers, Shaun. "Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day. But set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life." Terry Pratchet, 'Jingo'. |

Didnt know you were into software piracy circles, but if so and he's reading them, he;s as legit as you are. Perhaps more so? His country has different laws about such. |

In this case, I was not sure it wasn't a typo, and wanted a human to response. Not complaining too much, but can you have a food related response?

T'was on special, 50% off and it's a surprisingly reasonable drop.

Much as I hate to get involved in this sort of thing, the laws where you are, are quite different from some other lands. Downloading an XP ISO when you already have your COA, is totally *legal* in your country as well as many others. If it sqicks out USA folks, it's because the lack experience in the laws of other lands. Even in the USA, if you have a *legal* COA (Certificate of Authority to the rest), it can be applied to an ISO. But I'm going to dive out of this thread fast as USA folks tend to get extremely USA centric on this one. They tend to assume that what they 'know' is all there is to know and anyone who doesnt conform to their view, is a pirate. |
