First, speaking for my countrymen, we don't want you in the US.
I don't know what rock you crawled out from, I don't know who you are, I don't care if you're a pirate or a princess. I don't know what country you are in, I don't know where you wish to live, but I
wouldn't give you an iso image after your tirade about my country. Every country has it's problems, the US is no different, and I am sure whatever hole you live in is no different. I think if you are going to ask people for things you had better be a little nicer, because over the years I have seen the great people on this list go out of their way to help one another, no matter what country they were in. We don't bash people or where they live on this list. Your comments were uncalled for, rude, and offensive.
Now, installing software every 70 days. Interesting, aren't you doing that because you don't legally have a license. In my "country" that is called stealing. Well you know, Sally, I think you might be a pirate as you are stealing. It doesn't matter that IBM is a multi-billion dollar company, and you are some poor slob. You have no right to use that software, unless you have a license. If you had a license, then you would be entitled to have keys and you wouldn't need to reload the software every 70 days. As a stockholder of the IBM Corporation, it would seem to me, that you are also then stealing from me and every other shareholder.
How can IBM stop people from buying machines on the used market, or EBAY. Maybe in your country, the government can tell a corporation what to do. IBM doesn't control someone from selling a machine on the used market no more than it can control you from buying the machine on the used market. That is freedom, something that is part of every American, which you offended in your note.
Why don't you print your name so that next time you need help, I can ignore your request. Actually right now, I would rather just flush you down the "crapper" as you called it.

First, I'm not in the US. For everyone in the US, this is why the US is going down the crapper - I'm not a pirate! If the stupid SOPA legislation goes in, move the list off shore like all the other jobs in the US. Then everyone can debate it etc. Totally off topic but sorry that's what's wrong in the US now!
I'm not trading movies, I'm a hobbyist at home wanting to try out some new software on a box I freely bought on EBay. Heck what is SOPA even worried about? Oh I bought a machine, and I'm running it for play purposes at my house and may have some software I have to install every 70 days because I have no license! Its sure going to affect IBMs bottom line isn't it!!
Heck, I might find some neat stuff out and be able to influence a sale in the future!!! Imagine that!!
If IBM doesn't want experimenters playing with these machines, they should stop letting people buy them on eBay!! You already need a license key to-do anything commercial on it... please this entire thing about oh licensing makes me laugh.
If anyone from IBM is monitoring this list, please get in touch. I'd super love to license the software legally for the box so I don't have to re-install every 70 days. And, judging from the people who have got in touch with me.. I'm not the only one...
Regards

But it would not stop someone from making a complaint which could arbitrarily get the web site shut down without notice and without a hearing.
