Tell him, you're sorry, but you are not going to help him do something illegal. And, don't be concerned about what some random cyber friend thinks about your morals either.

Because most young computer-savvy people don't care about copyright violation?

You're dumb for being surprised that he asked you.

Just tell him that you don't have the technical expertise. Tell him to contact the RIAA service department, and they'll help him right out ;)

I was in a London Drugs the other day, just browsing through the computer section looking for 4-pin molex splitters. The salesman was trying to sell these two college age girls in a fancy new Mac, and they were asking him if they could copy DVDs they rented with it. He told them that it won't allow that, but there's plenty of software on the Internet that would, and he even listed some of it.

He listed some but it won't allow?

The important phrase here is "college age girls", were they hot? If so, you cant blame the guy, under the 1987 "but shes so damn hot!" clause hes not legaly responsible for his actions.


PS pics?

People always want me to get the the latest version of MS Office and stuff.

If they have a kid in school, I just tell them to buy the student version.

As it comes, it won't.
