Yep - apparently it's worth around $400 in free stuff, too.

You two don't get around much, do you?

this is possibly the dumbest reply to a callout of the dumbest rant in AT history.

Yours is definitely the dumbest attempt at a smartass come-back to come from you since your last feeble, generic, cliched attempt, Sparky.

You're the little Train that couldn't! :laugh:

What are you? twelve? You sound like a pimple faced little bitch.

Why bring your twin sister into this? Did she steal your Clearasil again, little boy, or are you just steamed because she beat you to a pulp when she caught you wearing her underwear?

I cant believe you actually typed that. I'm not gonna sink to the level of your childish stupidity.

Your thread blows, and 99% of the free world agrees. If this angers you, get the fuck over it and grow up.

Lol, punk. You START with the insults, and tired-ass cliched ones at that, and then, when you get your pimply little ass handed to you, you suddenly get all offended. :roll:

You're one big fetid pile of FAIL, I wouldn't wipe my ass with your face even if there wasn't any toilet paper or a less smelly 'tard in the stall.

:laugh:

Lol, sport, you brought your letter opener level of insults to a gun fight. Now crawl away and cry, cry, cry like your sister after I won't let her have any more.

Edit: Tried to change my 'CS' typo to 'CL', but the Gods of Time Warping failed me yet again

Excuse me

WOW

That's the funniest thing I have ever read.
ROFL big time.

Good one Perknose

Hey thats great, I'm glad you have your e-toughness in full force, what do you want me to do post about how I would beat your ass in person? Either way, doesnt change the fact that your thread sucks. How exaclt does telling you your thread sucks a fail? It DOES suck!

 

[Red Squirrel]

I don't really see the big deal, unless the pack does specify to not sell it. If someone is willing to pay for it, then that person gets what he wants for the amount they're willing to pay. Yes it is expensive, so any smart person probably wont buy it.

Well people feeling they have to be personally affected to do anything is part of the reason our country is going to a shithole quickly.

People are more apt to record a video for YouTube of an event on their phones than dial 911 to report it.

Tell us why you waited until somebody broke into your place before going all vigilante and doing something about it. You knew there was suspicious activity before the break in. You could have purchased an alarm system. Noooo, you waited and it cost your insurance company thousands.

It's because of people like you that your country is going into a (sic) "shithole"

 

[Wheezer]

LOL......wow...I have not read through an entire thread like this in a while....glad I did thanks for the laughs!

 

[Number1]

Obviously you irritated the MS haters and they have all ganged up on you. Unfortunatly for them they are messing with the wrong guy.

Go Perknose go

LOL

 

[Number1]

Perk, did you apply for a party pack and got rejected?

And piracy is . . . THEFT!

No, it is not theft by any legal definition of either term.

Yes, it is. It's called Intellectual Property Theft.

What you're describing in this thread is copyright infringement, not theft.

I've posted this before: Please see Dowling v. United States (1985), in which the courts ruled on appeal that distributing copyrighted material did not constitute theft and those convictions were reversed against the defendant. A relevant passage from the delivered majority opinion:

Since the statutorily defined property rights of a copyright holder have a character distinct from the possessory interest of the owner of simple "goods, wares, [or] merchandise," interference with copyright does not easily equate with theft, conversion, or fraud. The infringer of a copyright does not assume physical control over the copyright nor wholly deprive its owner of its use. Infringement implicates a more complex set of property interests than does run-of-the-mill theft, conversion, or fraud.

Also take a look at the actual copyright law and, perhaps most relevant, first sale doctrine, the latter of which actually bit Microsoft in the ass on Microsoft v. Zamos.

I could be wrong about this. I'm not a lawyer. If you have a link to prove to me that reselling NFR software is legally considered theft, I'd like to see it.

So what did this package include?

 

[Geekbabe]

Sad thing is, for every person out there blatantly selling these packs, there are more than a few
people who would have gladly had the house party and used the software

People are going to make a buck for sure but throwing that pack right up on CL probably wasn't
the brightest move either.

I would guess that's why he's mad? There are always people who no matter what will apply for anything at any cost to themselves if they believe there's a way to make a profit. Just like the people first in line for consoles, etc.

And at free there was no risk. I'd have thrown a party.. but I didn't apply for a kit anyway

You can't even install it more than once. (ie no reinstall and only 1 copy for just the host)

I'm thinking this falls in the real of "collector's item" in some people's mind.

hence, it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay.

Items are worth maybe $10 not including Win7. I got the XP pack with a bobble head and an XP baseball. I still see people try to sell them on ebay for $20 with no takers. I still have the baseball but I gave the bobble head away to a friend shorty after I got the pack. Nothing in this pack is in less supply than that XP pack so the only thing of real value is the copy of Win7.

FYI, I found it here for only $200 http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/sys/1413031509.html

Quite the deal

no laws against being desperate & greedy.

link for the ad ?

 

[FelixDeCat]

If I had a nickel for every post I flag on CL. While some people have given Perknose a hard time about this, see how long your NFR post lasts - it wont. A lot people are watching.

They should do a better job of filtering however and we wouldnt have all the fraud taking place. Like the gigs section. You have people showing up and doing jobs, then the people that hired them not wanting to pay for the work! Then you have idiots that only spamalot making you click links so they only raise cash for their website and nothing else (lying from the beginning about their intent), others that phish data and resell it, have you send resumes and steal your identity, it just goes on and on and on.

So I do admire at least some people trying to do the right thing and at least make CL a somewhat decent place to visit.

What e-toughness? I didn't threaten you, I just rhetorically pulled down your pants and pointed.

You're the one pulling out the "how I would beat your ass in person", e-punk.

And lastly, it wasn't about you telling me my thread sucks that exposed you as one big pussy-assed lamer of FAIL, it was when I insulted you back and all you could come up with were lame cliches and then pulled the "omg, I'm offended" pose when YOU started the insults, 'ya big hypocritical, self-owning pussy! :laugh:

It does. It's NFR software, clearly so labeled.

Do you know exactly who "not for resale" applies to?

Edit: One question, since I don't know a lot about these kits: were they freely provided by Microsoft as a promotion, or purchased?

It's right ON the fucking Win7 disk. This is standard practice with promotions, something you're obviously unaware of.

The rest of the box is crap worth about 5 cents total -- streamers, a pack of MS playing cards -- like I said, crap.

I'm not unaware of it. But my impression is that "not for resale" applies primarily to retailers, and is usually printed on promo materials or individual items sold as part of a bundle. It's there so a retailer can't open the kit up and sell Windows 7 by itself.

I would assume that if these kits were bought, then first sale doctrine applies and one can legally sell them despite the NFR label. If the kit is given by Microsoft with the binding understanding that it's only for personal use, then it might get hairy. That's why I asked.

Why are you being a dick about this?

I'm not being a dick, but your lack of basic knowledge is somewhat irritating. Your "impression" aside, NFR means just that, NOT FOR RESALE, as in NFR to anyone for any reason whatsoever.

Cliffs: NFR means NFR means NFR means NFR, no exceptions, NONE.

I don't get it. Guy wants to sell his pack, and if there are people that want to buy it then good for him. It's capitalism folks, that's how our country works. If you don't like it then please get the fuck out.

"Get the fuck out of what", Leroy? He got the pack, which includes NFR software which is illegal to re-sell and a whole host of tacky party favors, by promising to host a Windows7 launch party, a promise he is clearly not intending to honor.

Felony theft is NOT especially "capitalism, folks" nor is it supposed to be "how our country works" you dimbulb 'tard.

If YOU don't like that, YOU get the fuck out, kk?

I'm going to guess you're pissed off because you couldn't get in on the deal and turn around and sell it yourself. Don't worry. X-mas is around the corner and you can go camp in line and buy whatever you want to sell it on ebay for a 400% mark up.

BTW
Let me Google that for you.
