So nothing new. I’m not sure why there’s so much concern about people who’re deliberately attempting to break the law and becoming victims through their greed.
I will say one thing in their defence, sometimes the punishment doesn’t fit the crime .
Just buy the software, it’s less hassel and it might become cheaper for the those of us who pay our way…..
I guess its Karma coming back to get them ay? As they say, what goes around comes around.
