Northern Oak 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2003 IF you remove the keygen ASAP, in good faith, they will not take legal action against you, especially since you are not operating as a company. However, if you are distributing the Windows XP software, then you may be liable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lekguan 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2003 sharing music and warned by microsoft because someone put something illegal on ablaze's server like not much connection. Wonder what made you think of music sharing after reading blaze's thread. Anyhow, download but don't share and download 1 or 2 simultaneously only. The best is get original CDs.
