Do you know what you talking about. They are selling legal software. They did not steal the software or give a pirate Licence. They got it from dealers just like Amazon, Best Buy and so on. So no I'm not helping them steal and sell pirate software. Get your information straight before you accuse someone of Stealing.......
And yes I would buy a Tool for 50% off. From the web side not from truck.....
No, you’re just being willfully blind. If an unauthorized site can buy copies from Amazon, they won’t make a profit unless they sell for more than Amazon charges. Which they must not be doing, otherwise you would be buying from Amazon instead of the unauthorized site. The only way the unauthorized site can undercut authorized vendors and still make a profit for themselves is if they are doing something underhanded. The most common complaint that we have seen over past years is that the unauthorized site cells activation codes that have already been used. An activation code can be used up to five times. Suppose they sell the same code to three people. Odds are, their customers won’t need to reinstall the program and so won’t have reason to complain, but buying one copy and reselling it three times is clearly stealing. And we do see complaints here later in the season of people who need to reinstall the software and their activation codes won’t work, and customer service won’t provide a new activation code without proof of purchase from an authorized reseller.
Regardless, you’ve obviously made up your mind and everyone else reading this can make up their own minds and take their own risks.
I did buy from them last year before I knew about their business model. Indeed, when I tried to install on a second machine a month or so after the first install, the activation code would not work. When I contacted them, they provided me with a different activation code which did work. But I know better now and will pay a few more $ in order to get a valid, authorized version this tax year.
We all want a great deal but I'm willing to pay for nice, clean oats. If, on the other hand, you're willing to pay for oats that have already been through the horse, that's your call.
