It isnt, its no different than pirating a DRM free game in that sense

Sorry, I was under the (apparently) wrong impression that piracy is not allowed on this forum.
Guess I should start posting links to nice torrents then on your advise dear poster with 1400+ posts
Piracy is not allowed on this forum but we do have a private tracker invite request/trade thread , dont we . If you dont like it , dont take it . Everyone knows the legality of this and has been posted earlier here . If you take it in name of someone who is allowed to use it and both can use it and its fully valid . It was around from years and I just posted it . MS is aware of it , was aware of when Win 7 came and same deal came . So are you sympathising with MS or are you unhappy that people are misusing the student check or valid students are taking and giving to their parents/brothers/sisters/cousins or what ?
And reference to post count because people should spend some time , see how things are around , how thing function etc etc instead of questioning ....
Tell me
tmaster are you sure you have never done any such thing ?
Never watched any English/Hindi movie rip ?
Watched movies only in theatre or hiring DVD/CDs from authorised retailer
Never listened to any MP3 CD
Never used BSNL 3G while paying for 2G or used net using proxies
Never borrowed game cd
Downloaded only legal torrents in life
Never watched pron ?
There are many such things but these are most common of all ...... so tell me your answer and you would have answered yourself . Life is little complex than you think . I am not at all supporting piracy . Theres not a single app on my android devices which is pirated . Google has priced them in such a way that they are easily buy-able . Same is with games these days .(removed personal info)
I have had enough of this legality and morality and now i dont intend replying to these posts . All those who are unhappy with it do what you is right course to do in your mind
