    If it's someone on this forum, then PM one of the mods about it.

    If it's someone NOT on this forum, then there is probably a piracy hotline you could report it to. Dunno where that is, though. Someone else might.

    Cheers
    Mick

    Edit: Googled it. Microsoft antipiracy hotline

    Mods on line will be in bold in the user list on the forum homepage. Best to PM one fairly quickly so you can get a quick response.

    Cheers

    Your rude offensive comment was deleted.
    If you have a problem with that, or don't understand how it was offensive let me know by PM. I will make it very clear to you.

    Try sending this person an email, and inform them that you do not want this illegal copy. The act of offering you a pirated copy is not illegal. You would have to make them send you the actual copy in return for some kind of payment for it to be unlawful.

    They could be bluffing or playing with you

    Give the guy a break, he was asking for legitimate help . I normally wouldn't respond to this or the other thread shouldn't be taken lightly .

    Also, some members may want to revisit the FAQ's .

    You will notice immediately that TechIMO.com's Forums are unlike many other Message Boards on the Internet. One of our policies has always been to treat each other with respect and dignity, and we do not allow obscene language. These policies for conduct are our top concern and will be enforced. No one will be allowed to disrespect, intimidate, bully, "flame" or otherwise degrade or post inflammatory remarks about or to another member for any reason. Any and all such posts which are seen to contain such violations should be reported immediately to a Moderator.
    and........

    You will not use these forums to violate any international, federal, state, or local law, nor any other law, nor to discuss any illegal activity.

    IMO, way off base.

    One more thing, while it is a great thing to have a sense of humor (twisted as mine may be at times ), I have always thought of us here at TechIMO a good bunch of folks.

    'Nuff said.

    DITTOS, Tazman!
    That's why I still lurk and read around here. Usually pretty good advise and common sense. But the man has a good point, and if he's worried or upset by what another 1 of us is doing or offering then he or she should PM a moderator.

    This situation has been reported and resolved for quite awhile now, so it is time to let this thread ride off into the sunset.
