should I report this guy?

Theft is theft. Do what your conscience tells you to do. If you'd turn him in for ripping off one of your friends, turn him in for this. No one has a "right" to another person's intellectual property.

ahahaha, that's harsh, using WinME I'd say they'd been punished enough already

Just kidding Mods, I don't condone Software Piracy (as far as you know!!)

 

[Ciber]

just email him and tell him to stop what he's doing. i know he's stealing and everything, but ruin his entire life over some software? cause that's what this will do, COMPLETELY *DESTROY* the guys life, which i dont think is really necessary in this case(he's just young and stupid).just scare him off with an email or a note on his door that says "If you dont stop pirating software, I will report you to the FBI and the school board". hehe i think that would make me stop and pretty much anyone that cares about their life and i seriously doubt he really wants to go to jail or be kicked out of school...etc.....

And crime flourishes when the common man does nothing. There is nothing criminals count on more than pussies afraid to rat them out.

Tell me, being an owner of a Sandwich shop in Newark, have you ever been hit up for protection? And if you have did you report them to the police?

If I was hit up for protection, I would refuse to pay and report it. If my shop was firebombed or some other stupid thing I'd simply collect my insurance pack up and leave. WHY people stay in a place that allows this to go on is beyond me. If people started closing up shop and leaving in droves, the police would actually stop this crap.

These idiots count on fear. If no one responded to them, they'd be screwed.

Yet another reason I prefer small and medium sized cities to large ones.

Crap like this only happens when you disarm the general population and pussify them beyond all reason. Try this kind of crap in GA, SC or NC and you'll see a lot of dead Italians laying in the streets.

As compared to dead Black or Jews? Who said anything about Italians?

 

[flavio]

So let me get this straight, Jews in shallow graves and Italians dead in the street?

OK, so we'll be in denial about who runs the vast majority of protection rackets in NJ? Fine by me.

How many protection rackets do you hear about in the South? It's not just the South, in non mega-urban areas period.

Uh.. haven't you been reading the papers? In the south there seems to be a rash of Encumbents running for Sheriff who have been murdered by challengers running for the same office. "Boy, we know were you live"

Hardly the same. And ONE incident, Red? Come on.

 

[GermyBoy]

<< Yes, just send an anonymous email. That's where the $500,000 fines and 10 years in jail come into play. For those of you who think xchangx should be off doing something more productive should look at the situation a bit better. If someone robbed your house and took your stereo and the next day you saw someone on a street corner selling your stereo, would you report it? or go try to cure some diseases and fight world hunger? Just because it's not your stuff that's being stolen and resold doesn't mean that it's not wrong and shouldn't be reported. Piracy is a major reason why prices for software is so high. >>



Being able to buy pirated software for cheap is why prices are so high. Anything that I pirate and use for more than a week, I go out and buy. Be a good dude and rat him out. It's the American way. PLEA-BARGAIN!!

Peace,

<< Hardly the same. And ONE incident, Red? Come on. >>

Two seperate incidents.

BTW, just because it isn't reported doesn't mean it isn't happening (Extortion in the South)

Umm... I think we are getting off topic here Amusedone

 

[CraigRT]

Sounds like a good connection if you ask me!

Yes, we are.

At any rate, don't allow crime to go on unreported. Especially crime with a victim like theft, assualt, murder, vandalism, etc. Victimless crimes are another story, but this is clearly theft and the victim is not only the software companies, but EVERY consumer as well.

The downfall of this country is the sense of ENTITLEMENT people have to other people's property.

Good point, especially when this wanker is making a profit off of others work.
