Send me the Vista Primo edition when you buy it Brucey please.

[GDI_Coyote]

As a side note...read the "EULA" that came with the game sir.You are allowed to make copies of the program for backup purposes, but it is against the law to give copies to friends and colleagues.

Send me the Vista Primo edition when you buy it Brucey please.

(a) I've no intention of having it
(b) I was offered a FREE copy of it, and refused it (even being above board) for my contributions in another area
(c) if i did buy it, and found i didnt like it, i wouldnt know how to get it off my system
(d) if i did buy it, and wanted to GIVE it away, i'd probably give it to Terrell

but i'll put you on the list should it
(A) come my way
(B) Terrell declines the offer

Isn't it okay to use a software program on any number of machines?

No, you can only use the software for the number of licenses purchased. For example, it is illegal to copy a software program from your office machine to use at home even if it is for work purposes unless you purchase an additional license for the additional machine. It is also illegal to loan or to create copies of software and give it to friends.(copied and pasted this )

Sincerely yours,

Steve

I AGREE WITH YOU COMPLETELY~
but you are not understanding or not seeing the basic difference in our discussion.
1) a person buys a program. installs it, and determines he doenst like it
2) [assuming] the person is law abiding, he DELETES it from his PC (if he doenst like it, why keep it?)
3) while discussing said program a friend says' 'hey, if you dont want it, i'll take it'... and the original purchaser, hands it over.

there is no "COPY".... only the original purchased program. i can without any guilt or fear of going to software pirate jail, give something i bought, and retain no DUPLICATE of, away.

if i keep it on my PC and give the original away, yes... that is illegal. but i think Terrell wrote that he had to go back and re-purchase the courses he had given away. that reads he no longer had them on his System, or access to them (why else buy them?)

so ...... i beg to disagree, but 'us 2' aint wrong. at least thats what our in-house attourney/ IT Dept guys say

with all due respect, i think we're saying the same thing, your getting [censored] up on the giving a 'copy' instead of giving the ONLY version that was purchased. think of it, are you saying once you buy somthing you are stuck with it? what i wanted to sell it? forget giving it away~ i can do that too!
just not keep a copy or make a copy.

I didn't pay for my Links 2003 discs!!

They were given to me gratis for 200 hours of complicated bunker meshwork on an APCD course*.

I guess I'm on the 5hit list too?


* I won't say which course because if I'm on the 5hit list, I don't want the designer to be in trouble too.....

Thats why you(a ficticious person) can go to Warez and get the key cracks.The code given to the original purchaser of any software.Yes,if you buy it and install it,you are stuck with it supposedly.If you know a way around using it w/o the key code...shareware please.

Played real golf with Upandin today(i work with him @ GE) and told him of this BS.If you read the entire thread and apply what T said to this one,you'll see the double standards some folks have around here.I'm trying to be as cordial as i can Bruce,but that T fella shows his true colors in that thread as he did in this one.

If you gave away Links 2k1(or fill in the blank with any course or software) for 3 bucks on Ebay or gave it to Terrell for being an all round nice guy,thats piracy...period.One keycode per person as it relates to software or MS games...period.If you paid for a course from Mike,you should not share it(laughs at that thought).

Not that i really care,because this game is on it's last leg,but i do like pointing out the fact that some people like to straddle the fence as it suits them.

Carry on my wayward son,

Steve
