I openly admit to using pirated software, but the point is, I do that for my own personal reasons and gain. I'm not a multi-billion dollar company who could get sued to buggery for utilising pirated software to create part of my product which I shall be making a profit from.. see?

I imagine the bottom line of this is that Microsoft used a third party company to create these sounds and that is the reason for all this.
Or its a prank by an employee who knew they would be tagged

I think that the software I personally have pirated doesn't take out of any corps. pockets, cause if it wasn't there to pirate I simply would have never ever used it...I have bought 4 games in my life and every single one of them, I pirated first. The rest, well, they weren't worth the box they'de come in.
I don't have money to go around buying every new game that comes out. (Currently, I don't have the system to play them) But I will be damned if I am not gonna sample the full version of a game before I shell out $50! That's a lot of money for me! I'm broke goin through school... Anyways, this thread kind of reminds me of this little jewel: |

this doesnt really have much to do with you or I, afterall we dont invest millions in protecting ourselves against piracy.
It looks good on them. |
