'i do actually have the manual. does anyone actually read them?' Err - the people who answer the questions around here probably did. 'i don't support warez. i "borrowed" my copy from work. they don't know it yet.....' I'm amazed that everyone else is so complacanet about this. "Borrowing" without permission is also known as "theft". Ask anyone whose car has been borrowed without permission. There IS "room" to interpret what you've said in a good light, but on ehas to make an awful lot of assumptions about you and your employers in order for that statement to say anything better than "I shall say this only wernce - I've knicked it from work and that's OK because they are a company and deserve to be stolen from, wink wink". Whic IS the very basis of the warez attitude (as I understand it). Maybe the group's feeling a bit lenient in the wake of all the commerial-advert and M3 wars - but I'm sure we'll be on top of "outraged by compyright violations" and "Poser art has gone downhill, it's all T&A's now" mode soon :)
