Buy him a copy of "a complete idiots guide to prison" - or something like that?
Maybe look up the rules and actual punishments that he could face, and lay it all out for him?

This is one of those messages which normally starts off "somebody I know has this problem"; which means of course it really refers to oneself. The situation really refers to a friend of my older son's whose parents have given them a laptop for University (this young person is going to study in Germany), and (as is the norm in Bulgaria) had a friend install PIRATE Windows, MSOffice, Uncle Tom Cobbley and all on the thing. Morality aside . . . My son has told this person that they (the parents) are "silly bu**ers" sending their child off to Germany with a laptop packed to the gills with Pirate software. I have offered to scrub the laptop and install a friendly Linux distro with Office Libre, Uncle Richard Stallman and all. This person; having grown up in Pirate-software land cannot see that their might be risks (legal!!!!) about merrily turning up at a Uni' in German with a laptop like "that". Would be grateful for advice. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
