It is *legal* to have a *legal* copy AND a *legal* serial, isn't it? Because that is what I have ...
(I thought it is perfectly clear for any average IQ person from my message that it was what I meant when I said I bought a copy of Stata, since any *legal* copy of Stata from Stata Corp. includes a *legal* serial, isn't it?
My point is that Stata includes undocumented malware. Stata guys say that bad behaviour comes from other guys modifying their the program. But this is NOT true because my *original* copy from them behaves in that undocumented way when an invalid license is provided, without
I guess that killing a killer is, in principle, not legal. Maybe your laws allow it but with some clear procedures.... In this case, cracking a cracker is ILEGAL (=malware) unless you clearly make this well-known.
