the worst part is that bestbuy is selling the disc for $20 and for an additional $130 their geek squad folks will install it! this was on digg this morning: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8888563&st=ubuntu&lp=1&typ e=product&cp=1&id=1211587312374 -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Kristian Erik Hermansen Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2008 7:36 PM To: BLU Discussion List Subject: Pirating Ubuntu? I have a very interesting and funny question to ask all of you. Is it possible to pirate Ubuntu? A friend of mine recently pointed me at a link to Best Buy's website and asked if it would be illegal for him to buy the disc, rip it, and place a torrent online of the item Best Buy is offering. It is the "Complete Edition", which I am unsure what that means exactly. See for yourself. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8888563&st=ubuntu&lp=1&typ e=product&cp=1&id=1211587312374 This is a very serious question and not to be taken lightly. Perhaps if no one can point me in the right direction here, I might have to contact the Free Software Foundation :-) Thanks! -- Kristian Erik Hermansen -- CISSP, CEPT, CREA, CEH, Linux+, A+, QGCS, ACSA, this is getting ridiculous... http://kristian-hermansen.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss --------------------------------------------------------- NOTICE: The information contained in this electronic mail message is confidential and intended only for certain recipients.
