XP using pirated software

[Dilbert]

At least, to a small degree.

For what it's worth, I checked myself, and the text mentioned is indeed in the files, embedded.

Hmm. Interesting. I found LISTB   INFOICRD   2000-04-06  IENG      Deepz0ne  ISFT   Sound Forge 4.5 in arbitrary file I opened.

Crime does not pay.
Thievery made Microsoft billions.

I wouldn't say those .wav files have made Microsoft billions. However, that being said pretty crazy Microsoft and/or the person who created the wav files for such a big project is using pirated software. I'd imagine Microsoft will pin it on some poor low level scape goat.

Its not just the .wav files. Its all the other stuff. How about the muti-million dollar damages they had to pay for stealing technology used in IE. MS don't care about copyright and patent infringement lawsuits. They can pay the damages and fines and still turn a profit from their thievery. Anyone who has ever used MS software is guilty of piracy in one form or another. Even MSDOS, on which Microsoft was founded, was not a Bill Gates original. He bought it from the original author for $4K. MS has inovated nothing. If they can't buy it, they'll steal it.

What in the world would even make someone look for such a thing?

Also, I think this was discovered a few years ago.  Heh.
