Well I don't look at Hackers as Scum, Hackers are really our friends. I don't and wont have any intention of EVER BUYING ms products. I get everything cracked. Windows 98se to Windows XP. Microsoft C++, Visual Basic 6.0, Foxpro, Things like that, Microsoft Office also to be included in the list. I also have Roxio Easy CD Creator 5.0 Platinum edition if anyone wants it (this is a kick ass program). This is the way I look at it: I am not a buisness and I don't care if I pirate, steal, or take money from corporations that are making more money than I can fathom. As for the Big Brother Fritz Chip, there will be a way to go around the govt watching you, you could always just use the internet with it disabled. That could suck though.
