Software Priacy and You

Published: | Posted By:

Hey got a copy of Windows2000? Not something Microsoft would like for you to say but happens none the less, and if you think about it Microsoft kind of condoned it back in the day.

"If piracy ends with Microsoft, the circle will have been completed, according to Gartenberg.

"The piracy problem has always been widespread, since the earliest days of the personal computer," he noted. "When one of the first programs was available, it was massively copied and handed around, and the young programmer who created it took out trade ads encouraging people to pay."

He added, "That was a little kid named Bill Gates." "
