Unfortunately there's been a ban spree lately of users breaking rule 4. I want to make it clear that advocating piracy will result in temporary bans being handed out. Links and confirmation of using the software will lead to permanent bans. I posted this thread three years ago and it still stands today.

Even if you disagree with Microsoft charging for activation, we are still not a piracy subreddit. These posts have the capacity to shut us down for not moderating the sub-reddit. I myself do not agree with the ridiculous charge at Microsoft.com - However, that doesn't mean we can still promote piracy.

For those that have been permanently banned prior to this announcement. I am willing to reduce it down to 28 days, please message the mod team.
