I've got a person at an auction site I have been dealing with for a couple of years now with no trouble (OTHER THAN REGULAR COMM.)
Now He has sold me Five ILLEGAL copies of win XP Pro.
I bought 1 at first and it was legal.
The other ones are all stolen numbers according to MS.
Now, i'm "MAD AS HELL" , Broke as Sh*# , and can only hope for JUSTICE (HA!).
He claimed to be a fellow cruncher but I have never seen him post. Of course I sat in the corner for years just watching and learning.
I'm "MAD AS HELL" at me. (Spelled IDIOT ME)
Seti has problems they get right sooner or later, I Think (Danger, Danger) I'm FLOCKED!
KICKING Self Real HARDDD!

Here is a story about getting a free replacement copy if you turn in the pirated one. It does sound like a long shot though.

Remember the old saying, "You get what you pay for."

I'm sure the Ferangii have a quote some where in the Book of Aquisition.

From the Book of Acquisition
Rule 001 » Once you have their money, you never give it back.
Rule 017 » A contract is a contract is a contract - but only between Ferengi
Rule 019 » Satisfaction is not guaranteed
Rule 039 » Friendship is temporary; profit is forever
Rule 069 » Ferengi are not responsible for the stupidity of other races.
Rule 082 » The flimsier the product, the higher the price
Rule 099 » Trust is the biggest liability of all
Rule 105 » Don't trust anyone who trusts you
Rule 107 » A warranty is valid only if they can find you

Hell yeah! Revenge is sweet!

Don't forget to report him to the auction site, who will likely cut him off and cooperate in the investigation that M$ would launch.

Well, so far since posting I checked the link (THANKS StokeyBob) at M$ and it said amnesty ended 7/31/05. Also have recieved rude E-mail from an INSULTED seller(SURPRISE,SURPRISE). So since this is a holiday weekend I'll have to wait until Tuesday to speak to a real person at M$, as the sale was in August.
Wish me luck ("Jim's Luck, It takes him by the hand and leads him through life," as pointed out by friends & family..).
I'm probably "Porked" as usual. {:-{ KRAPPppp... And I'm one of the kind of people who expects to be treated like I treat others (SUCKER). So much for trust.

Thanks,
Jim S.
