Too bad they can't put these people behind bars ...
Its really too bad that these kinds of intentional, commercial scale acts of piracy are apparently not considered criminal offenses because they should be. These people should do jail time for what amounts to criminal behavior.

And I say this, not because I am a great fan of Symantec, but simply because I believe in the rule of law and justice. Actually, I just ripped out a bunch of Symantec software from a customers system and replaced it with MS software because the MS software better integrated with the PC and I considered it to be easier to manage. But fair is fair. Neither Symantec nor any other software vendor should have to put up with this injustice. Congress should make these kinds of infringements a federal felony so that these people get jail time. That's my take.
