It's the user who installed the software who is breaking the law, together with those sites who are hosting (and even promoting) illegal software In the eyes of the law, what other people do is completely irrelevant. Saying that you are entitled to disable software -- any software, no matter its provenance -- on another person's property is saying that you are entitled to hack. The judge will not agree with you. The law will not care whether or not the other person paid for the software, if it is investigating you for hacking. The law will only care if the software has been paid for if you ask it to -- i.e. you take legal action against the thieves. If you're arrested for hacking, the no-one in the legal system will give a damn about your private opinions of right and wrong. Don't turn yourself into a criminal or try to justify criminal behaviour by saying "he's a criminal too!" It doesn't wash. I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

State laws require all corporations and Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) to maintain a registered address with the Secretary of State in each state where they do business. The person or company located at that address, known as the Registered Agent, must remain available during all business hours. A Registered Agent receives and forwards important legal documents and state correspondence on behalf of the business. Most companies that set up companies for you (i.e. The Company Corporation) will provide Registered Agent services. This allows you to incorporate in states like Nevada or Delaware where filing fees are very low. Jon Smith & Wesson: The original point and click interface

You meed to insert the standard clause that I have seen in every hardware and software purchase agreement. "The seller provides no warranty of merchanitibility or fitness of purpose for the products sold under this contract blah blah blah blah...." The vendor is saying (I think) he is not sure this product will fit your needs or fit anybody's needs. He is not sure it is a product that anybody in good conscience would sell. Not a single company I have dealt with was willing to strike this clause off from the contract. PS. Unix freaks and NT worshippers might agree that IBM properly represented its mainframe products with the above disclaimer! ;P

No - they may have been ISO 9002 certified but their certification is now obsolete so they are no longer certified to ISO 9002. See Here[^]

I see. Most content on a P2P network is, yes, illegal, but who really reads a whole book on the screen? I don't, I download the eBook, then if it seems to be good, I go buy it! I don't know if you saw my room on one of my pictures in my "CocaCola fridge" thread? But I have a picture of my room and there you can see my all books I've bought. I spent about $800 on books.
