Not me!
I do not "share" on the internet. Nor do I allow people to copy software that I have purchased.

And you are wrong, the Congress and the courts have already ruled that "fair use" IS legal.

"Gee, you damaged the product, then that is your problem. How much simpler does it get?"

Gee, I have a LEGAL RIGHT to make a backup in case I'm not as anal as the next guy. That's even simpler.

"As for 321Studios, this couldn't happen to a more deserving company. Look, it happens that I know the upper management at the company and have done some work with them. (Small world department) These guys are FULLY aware their software is being used to pirate content and used to joke about it all the time."

I don't say this very often, but this time I must say that you are a LIAR, and ask for proof of your statement. If you knew of this, knowing your view of "thieves", why didn't you alert the authorities?

I own DVD X-copy and use it within my LEGAL rights. I think 321 ROCKS!

If you have any young kids, then let them borrow a DVD and get back to us about that "you damaged it so live with it" bull$hit.
