RE: FN-FORUM Legality of dodgy software

Think of it this way, if they're a dodgy client who uses
illegal software, what are the chances you'll get paid ok ?

People moan about offshore and overseas competition, but I know there
are even some disreputable web design companies in the UK who rely on
using 'Warez' software

we have to compete with people like this,who don't have the expense
of buying software, who will happily run their business using warez.

At the end of the day, it all depends on your moral outlook really.

If you really want to give them a headache, try reporting them to FAST

Its all very 1984, they have a 'Make a Report' section ready for you to
do your civic duty
