picture me, 6 /7 years ago, just starting out...(ThatWeeLadInTheSomewhatMuchSmallerCorner)
All i have is kracked haked apps... shit, i didneee pay for NUFFIN'.... Come to think of it... I dont think that I even actually paid for my bloody PC either !
fast forward... to approx a year n half ago... OK... im older, Im starting to get somewhere... I got "resposobiltys" etc...
Im Living in UK, and my profile of being "innvolved in porn" (Shock Horror !) has eartnt me one "visit" from the law allready...
(They was just being nosey really, It truly was a farcical raid, keystone kops time... tottaly another story... But I digress)
So, despite no PC equipment/apps being in house at time...
Last thing Im wanting is they come back again, and finding themselves being totaly frustrated by their inabilty to get me 4 "PORN"... that they take the piss and lock me up over an old copy of say MSword 97, on a grubby old CDR...
So, i have this brainwave ! lets go legit... I decide to Pay for and be good etc, from then on...
BIG MISTAKE !!!
after spend a fucking fortune... A FORTUNE... new os,(xp) licences, ms offxp, #4 macromedia suite, (then the MXone ) photoshop6 , plugins litle extras etc etc... Im there with pretty much al i need bought n pAID FOR, RECIEPTS N BOXES ETC, all lined up on my desk... So did i get a rosy glow of satasfaction ? did I FUK!
Its actually at this point on...
Problems are full go... where2 start ?
(in no partic order)
I travel a lot but cannot have certain office apps ie fp2002 on PC... AND laptop... Ohh no... A HENIOUS CRIME... then when i updateUpgrade a pc... XP no instal, etc, As far as microsoft stuff goes I find myself spending more time on fucking phone to MS dictayoing trings of 50+ numbers, and basically havvnn to ask THIER PERMMISION, for me to use the stuff i bought n paid for...
than actually using the fucking products, (or in xpcases, the PC's or laptops themselves)
as for other stuff.. Have to find bloddy lost SN install numbers etc, keep all my good disks close to hand... then if I cant find the biit of cardboard wiv number on it... Or if i goi USA 4 a bit, BRING THEM ALONG TOO....
Ahh fuckit... To much shit 4 me by far...
So, i as the legit paying customer, get workflow intterupted regually.. But the gy wiv kazza or whatnt, n his CDburner, not only dosnt pay in cash... but he dont pay again and again in 9nconveinece cause the problems dont effect him ;-)
Lesson Leartnt though... I will just by the cardboard boxes 4 me shelfs in Future... n its obvious why ?
anyways... bed niw, but you did ask,. ;)
Cheers 4 now and Excuse awfual spelling... Totired to type! night nidgt

Good Morning,
Firstly, please accept my apologies, for that intelligible post last night.
I assure you I am not mentally challenged or ?special??
I was simply just tired
Now refreshed, please allow me to bring you the above post? in English.
My personal opinion is as follows.
When I first began my involvement with the business, I did indeed use hacked products myself. However, approx 18 months ago, I decided to purchase all my software, instead of using illegal software, due to my increased concerns about the potential circumstances of being caught.
I unfortunately now regret my foolish decision, due to the wide range of problems that this has caused me. Amongst other things, I found the Microsoft product activation issue, to be particularly annoying.
I will no longer be paying out for the legal versions of software.
This is not because of the price, but due to the inconvenience of the day too day practicalities of doing so.
As its my first posting on GFY I understand that its customary to tell fellow board members to perform an unnatural solo sexual act upon themselves, so in entering into the spirit of things, I do so. Also, whilst aware, that its customary for new female members to post a picture of their breasts, I inform you that I am male, and as such, absolved from my having to do so, so please don?t ask.
Yours sincerely,
?ThatGuyInTheCorner?
PS? I Could always post a pic of my sweaty ballocks instead, if either preferable, or required? ?
