Great point though Mapes, I never looked at it that way until you said it.

Hammy as for your customer who installed wrongly on multiple cpu's...you asked "Have you read the EULA" Yes I have on most and most are as clear as mud. Some software vendors are cool and let you install on multiple cpu's but, you can only use it on one cpu at a time. MS I think still does this. Some EULA's forbid you from even making a backup copy. A right that is granted under fair use. EULA's are not clear and it's easy to get confused. Thats why whenever I look for software I prepend Open Source in my search to avoid some of this silliness.

So what do we think about a pre-beta software download that was given out early to devs, but not released to the general public ?
Windows 7 is available on torrent sites, but MS isn't charging for the beta build. It will be released to the general public December 18, but I consider that fair game compared to a retail game that is available on shelves, but still on torrent sites.
Trust me, I wholeheartedly endorse buying a retail game if you want to support PC gaming and developers of said games, but I've seen examples of beta or demos being sold for a small amount, which is wrong on all levels to me.Oh if a man tried to take his time on Earth and prove before he died what one man's life could be worth, well I wonder what would happen to this world ? - Harry Chapin

Some of my friends experienced this 1st hand, with the Halo3 beta, they regretted it from day 1.... (mostly because CrackDown was a horrible game)
