Hey, at least the spammers in this case have the courtesy to ask you to pay for the download before it begins - I despise people who download software, use it for the 30-day free trial period, and then instead of paying to continue using it, simply remove it from their system, download it onto another computer, then transfer it to their system.

MS is currently suing these types of scammers. Where is P.T. Barnum when you need him.
