This article says nothing about terrorism, it states that money was being sent to a son and Pakistan, and used to buy in land in the sons name. That could be for anything, possibly terrorism, drugs, prostitution, or it could by some slim chance a legit use of the money. (Bringing over and supplying land for family members)
I think anytime you by illegal property the money is going towards something shady. Be it terrorism or something else. However that is not the only reason to stay away from these products, stolen merchandise raises the cost of legitly sold products. The company must make up the money lost by the stolen product so they are forced to raise prices.

I read it and I say no. Apparently they bought companies that were sold these programs at a discount.....and they in turn resold them. If that's illegal then so be it...but Microsoft WAS paid.....but they feel they didn't make enough.....29 million as opposed to 60 million they say they should have made(a loss to them).
Piracy is a much bigger problem.
And the article says nothing about terrorism...you're making that connection just b/c they are from Pakistan and sent some money home to their son.

NO.
wait did you say BUY illegal software??? i thought that meant download. yea, if you buy illegal software then you might as well be a terrorist because you're so ******* stupid you'll prolly accidentally kill yourself in a housefire along with innocent non-retards and that sounds like a terrorist to me.
edit: haha, no i didnt read the article. the question was soo stupid i thought it would be best to spare myself even more stupidity. lol

Yes, most likely.... Why would you buy illegal software anyway???
They can probably be traced, so when the feds come knocking on your door & take your computer, I wouldn't be surprised if I were you....
