No worries about any of that shit.. it is and will always be an on going battle... the funny thing is that there are no sides... most of the people that push the pirated software are friggen software engineers that leak information or get fired.
They will implement "NEW" ways to stop piracy, but the warez groups will just find new ways around them... EVERY SINGLE PROGRAM IN THE WORLD is hackable... ... EVERYONE! ... all they have to do to get around server authentication is tell the program to ... NOT AUTHENTICATE . Software is math.. adn all math has something on the other side of the equal sign. Microsoft only wants to make it harder for the 'end' user to pirate. ~~ unless they were to make the software run on their end (over the lines) there will always be a way for people to manipulate the software to get it to do what they want... ... no matter WHAT, I don't care what ANYONE says... if it is on your computer....... you hold ALL the cards!
Microsfot and "ADOBE" for instance, don't care about piracy as much as they lead us to think . They make the greater sum of their profits off of companies. Although they would love to make a perfect system... but you know what?!? IMPOSSIBLE!
Now I can understand their concern in Singapore, where 98% of all software is pirated... that is kinda a cause for concern...
But if we get tired of jewing them out of their software we can always go to our Linux buddies... or invent a new open source......... by the way, someone needs to make a BOLD ass move on Microsofts turf... that would rule! I want a totally revilutionary OS... when are we going to have that 3D OS crap we have seen in movies?!? And where the fuck are the hover cars, IT'S 2004 PEOPLE... I WANNA FLY ALREADY! hahahhaha
