Pirating Software
Frankly, I wish there were more success stories like this one. I often see people parading around with CD's to sell knowing full well that those CD's are not really legal to sell. Each time someone buys a pirated CD or DVD he's contributing to the whole scam of pirating software where those who have done the hard work are not being paid for their work. Personally I believe the law should crack down harder, longer sentences.

Such activity is an insult to those who have given their talent in their programming efforts. It may sound silly to say this, but would you, the reader like this to happen to you in any fashion. I think not. Those of us who are honest enough to pay for the software should be on the outlook for these thieves and report them to the proper authorities. In my opinion, these crooks get TwoThumbsDown.
