Microsoft Celebrates Anti-Piracy Day
Not sure if you knew that today was a special day. Yeah, you probably know that
yesterday was National Osteoporosis Day and that tomorrow is International Stuttering
Awareness Day, but that leaves Oct. 21 all to Microsoft -- which has now given
us
Global
Anti-Piracy Day. Microsoft is trying to educate users in 49 countries about
the evils of pirated software.
I don't agree with committing software piracy, but I find that sometimes the
cure is worse than the illness. How many times have you tried to rebuild a system
only to be stymied reinstalling software you already paid for?
What do you think about piracy and piracy protection? Shrieks, howls and common
sense all welcome at [email protected].
