Do you have 100+ files there?

Or do you know people with files there that ended their life?

Unfortunately, I do have both. They never respected the DMCA. Ever.

What do you mean ended their life? Like they killed themselves because someone pirated their software?

That’s interesting, it would be the first time I’ve ever heard of anyone committing suicide because of pirated software.

What was the precipitating cause? Lost revenue?
