That's what I'm getting at. Why does everyone keep focusong ONLY on the thieves? A whole LOT of other people with legitimate copies who got them free on a magazine cover are being given this same opportunity, too. There's a lot of negativism going on here. There are two sides of the coin. Millions of people bought that magazine. I bought it for a friend. These people are NOT thieves. They get a wonderful opportunity to upgrade it when they couldn't before because they didn't live in the UK. This was my point. I'm definitely NOT advocating for thieves. It just seems that too many people are concentrating ONLY on the one group of users and not considering the entire picture. Unfortunately, warez will happen and there really isn't anything that can be done about it. People still rob banks and convenience stores, too, even with the police out there. But can't we also look at the GOOD people who DON'T use warez, who want to get their upgrades? Sheesh. I feel like Mother, here. Let's simmer down. Melanie Sorry, I'm menopausal! I get a little testy once in a while. ;)
