Buying stuff from my university question...ive always been curious about this.

I haven't read the rules, but if I sign up for one night class at a community college, buy my software and never go to class, would I be ok.
Also my kid is in elementary school, not in college yet, is this age discrimination. He has a computer, and is a student.

As long as you get a .edu email address then yea, you probably satisfy the initial requirements. But they also said that someone may contact you later to verify you're still a student and charge you the difference if you're not any more. So you would be legal until the school kicks you out for not showing up and then you're just banking on no one verifying your status.

Children can't enter into agreements like that so your child's educational status is irrelevant, age discrimination is a complete red herring. And they could use the free online Office apps or Google Docs if they wanted.

I doubt that there's a technical way for them to catch you, but it's a license violation so why not just download a pirated copy and save a few bucks?

or ... maybe ... burglarize a Best Buy and get a bunch of software ?!

JUST KIDDING.

Sadly, with the way US laws are right now you might get a lesser sentence with that method...
