The principled thing to do about software you consider spyware is to not use it. Not paying for a paid product you use daily and continuously derive value from is hard to justify in my view.

You're forced to use Windows due to multiple reasons.

I'm not forced to use Windows at home and I don't have to pay for it at work.

You're forced to drink water for much stronger reasons yet you pay for it if you don't dig up your own.

Digging up and purifying your own water source is a bit more effort than installing a widely available and well documented crack

What does that have to do with anything?
I mean, it takes no effort at all to copy/paste AGPL code into a proprietary project. But you're still not supposed to do it, right?

I dont use windows but I've still paid for multiple licenses unwillingly because it always comes preinstalled on every laptop.
This is Microsofts doing.
As far as Im concerned this makes pirating windows totally ethical.

I did pay for a version of Windows that does not contain spyware, so I am consistent with my principles.
Speaking of principles, which principle is responsible for taking a working, perfectly stable OS and releasing "updates" for it that introduce spyware?
I just want to make sure we're holding companies accountable to the same degree we're holding individuals.
