My, My, aren't some folk a little bit touchy on this subject eh, the_leander ...
When you repeatedly imply the same thing over and over, yes it does begin to grate.
I do love the tactic though, the moment you get called on it you can play the innocent.
I never used the word 'lying'
No, you implied it, repeatedly and deliberately.
you only read into my post what you believe it said, it's not my fault the you can't understand what a muppet like me is saying.
Ahh so it's everyone else's fault people are reading the clear implications you have made.
Right.
Gotcha.
The original question has nothing to do with implying that anyone is a pirate, it was merely asking if you have or use a piece of software on your system that you didn't actually pay for the use of and to use legally you would have had to pay for it.
Karlos covered this already.
I was never asking folk if they were a pirate who whether for money or for free churns out copies of software and distribute them or sells them, that is a pirate...
Piracy does not require a commercial side. Thanks to legislation like the DMCA, all that is done with. There is no distinction in law between someone using bittorrent for the first time and one of the factory ships sat off of the chinese coast mass producing knock offs of your favourite films. Whether or not that is right or fair is irrelevant.
But of course you already knew that.
But to all you Mother Teresa's out there, please accept the humble apologies of a muppet...
Careful, your passive aggressive is showing...
Mother Teresa.
I still choose however to remain a teensy weensy lickle bit sceptical...
I couldn't give a crap what you believe: DOX or GTFO.
