[NTLUG:Discuss] I got this offer

[MontyS@videopost.com]

Seems illegal to me.  Will you get by with it?  If for personal use, maybe.
If for corporate use?  Depends on how many competitors you have out there.

I don't like it one bit.

I guess in the post Napster era, ethical questions are, shall we say, in
flux???  Why pay, when you can get it free?

To all you code writers out there:  What is your take on this?

No, you are right to question the legitimacy of this.  I can only hope this
is a "sting".  It is most certainly a "pirate", if not in the letter of the
law, then certainly the spirit of the law.

Since this isn't linux related, I will shut up now. :>

	I got this offer from something called "Warez CD" to sell me
"backup" 
	CD's and serial numbers for different software, at $19.99 a set.
The 
	claim is it is the same thing as the boxed set, just no box or
manual. 
	They are advertising Adobe, Microsoft, etc., software, including XP
Pro, 
	Photoshop 7.0, Office XP Pro, etc.

	My first thoughts were "pirate" and "sting" - how about you?
