You might be treating customers like criminals
Product activation wasn't enough for Microsoft, now they're going the extra step and adding the Jeff Foxworthy "You Might Be a Pirate" category.

In reality you might be someone who tinkers with their own computers at home, or you might have had the virus/trojan of the day wipe out important parts of your operating environment and then the icing on the cake will be proving you own your copy of Windows all over again.

ROFL! You keep taking it, they'll keep dishing it out.
