Probably not to be discussed here really.

99 seems cheap.

I once heard of a person who bought on eBay before and it worked really well. They told me it ran on a VM.

Can't go wrong for 99p I think.

Not for the person/company you are stealing copied IP from.
Yes good point, but you are actually using it offline in a virtual box, so not using an IP. It is all in a complete program of 5Gb, so it would take a good wodge (is that a real word?) of your hard drive. Obviously the program has been borrowed from somewhere. May be an MB person. Just had another look on EBAY and it says that they can be updated as new versions come out. Some people are selling 1 months access at £9.99. I suppose they are all dodgy.

It is actually £1.99, I was incorrect. Well I just thought I would ask peoples opinion and as Conor says, maybe not the place to discuss this.

IP as in Intellectual Property - not Internet Protocol. Illegal copied software is theft.

Yes I am sure that it is. Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone. I am not condoning this but EVERYONE steals something. Be it a couple of pens or other items from work. Or may sin by parking on double yellow lines while someone pops in the shop. The list is endless.

It is, it isn’t something we can discuss on the forum though so I’m closing the thread.
