The same jurisdictions in which one can legally prohibit you from
duplicating the zeros and ones that happen to encode a song or movie.
The same jurisdictions in which you can get free (or nearly free) copies
of Windows and Visual Studio and all the Server products from MSDN,
MSDNAA, or TechNet, but aren’t legally allowed to use those bits or the
bits they output for commercial use until you pay more for the exact
same bits.
I thought most jurisdictions respected the value of IP and the legality
of license agreements. Don’t assume just because enforcement may be
lax, that it’s legal.
In Soviet Russia, software license YOU!

I just wonder what jurisdiction you are living in. I strongly suspect that this “jurisdiction” exists only in
imagination of those who take everything from " Politburo in Redmond" for granted…Anton Bassov
