    In turn, if I’d find a copy of Windows, Office, or whatever Microsoft software on the net, I’d be free to use it in amy way I like? Because that is what he is basically arguing.

    The Pirate Bay is on the open web.

    So I guess it’s perfectly okay to pirate Microsoft software.

    And if torrents don’t count, I guarantee you that there are public websites with direct downloads of pirated Microsoft software that have yet to be taken down.
