I finally let him know we were joking, I felt so bad for the poor kid. After my post as a microsoft person he PMed with the following message:

"Are you kidding?"

then 10 minutes later:

"did you get my last PM?"

So I decided to end it:

"I'm sorry sir, is there something about my inquiry that you find to be humorous? This needs to go in the permanent fraud records, I'm afraid. I shall classify you as a "Goof" and file it under "Gullible." "

HE STILL DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS A JOKE! He wrote back:

"im not joking,be serious. tell me for sure. Do you like making a fool out of me,just because I dont wanna get in trouble "

So I finally ended it:

"oh dear god... was that not obvious enough? 😀
no one is after you, no one has reported you, no one is going to. calm down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why did you even post to begin with? are YOU fooling ME? "

LOL, poor kid. 😀
 
its a moot point anyway cuz once you agree to one license agreement with microsoft your selling your soul to them...if you read through it you'll notice Article 5, Clause 6.2 says (and i quote)

"By agreeing to said agreement, the first party (being the agreeer), does hereby and wholly agree to grant all control over his immortal soul to the party of the second part (Microsoft)..."

so ultimately you're screwed whether or not you pirate or not..



but enough of this depressing stuff, what type of ship do you have?
I'm looking to trade in my bass boat and get a pontoon boat so i can haul more stuff off the ships i plunder...yaarrrggg, besides me peg leg makes it hard to move around in such a small boat...
 
dezell123 I called microsoft and notified them of your actions, they have your router configuration by your ip address. They should be over there tomarrow at about 10:30A.M. Bill Gates has his leather whip uniform on for you.
 
I'm not a software pirate... I'm an Air Pirate - part of the Blue Rouges!





(Anyone know what I'm talking about? ... Anyone?)
 
The issue at hand is whether we should throw you in a Federal prison or hand you over to Microsoft. I've heard some very disturbing stories of what Microsoft does to people who pirate their software... :Q MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
