    Pirating Windows for your own personal, private use, which will never directly make you a single dollar: HIGHLY ILLEGAL

    Scraping your creative works so they can make billions by selling automated processes that compete against your work: Perfectly fine and normal!

        It’s not even piracy though. I never saw anyone torrent Windows_XP_Home_Cracked.iso and go “Hey guys, check out this operating system I made!”

      Do people still pirate Windows? You can download the iso directly from Microsoft’s website and you don’t need a registration key anymore.

        You do need a registration key, but now it’s tied to the hardware so it activates as soon as you connect to the network, no need to actually type the registration key.
