Also with windizupdate, you get everything you need as well, without the WGA checks and all that.
The thing is, RIAA, movie industry and the software developers always quote made-up figures of how badly pirating is hurting them. But, CD sales + MP3 sales are up, movie industry just had a record summer, and gaming is still an 80 billion dollar industry.
How badly is it REALLY hurting them?
