You skipped over the parts that were incorrect such as the keys being "illegal" and labeling the retailers scammers. Also, he ASSUMES that Symantec will not issue refunds, he could not possibly know this.
I'll let the courts decide on the legality of running a network to enable pirated software. I'm sure they won't punish it as badly as say, running a network to enable selling drugs. Labeling these "sellers" as scammer is spot on. What they're selling is not only worthless (a key that you're not allowed to use / if you use it you're pirating software and very likely breaking the law). The assumption that symantec is not going to refund is a based on Vod's experience and symantecs behaviour. While it cannot be asserted until it happens, I am fairly confident that assumption is spot on.
What courts? I asked you for statutory law backing up your claims of "enabling piracy" and breaking a TOS contract, but you seem to be unable to produce them. Yet you sit there talking about courts in this hyperbolic manner as if Microsoft really cares. If they did they wouldn't be available. Simple as that. A scammer is someone who steals from someone they are purportedly engaging in trade with. Just because you find the sellers activities to be morally objectional as a 3rd party does NOT make them a scammer. If they were ACTUALLY scamming, there would be VICTIMS making COMPLAINTS, which are glaringly absent in this situation. People seem to want the product and have kept returning for more. Assumptions about refunds are nothing more than that, assumptions. Vod doesn't have magical psychic abilities from his day long torrents of negative rating people, and without some sort of due process or structure then wtf is the point of ANY of this?
Vod have changed his neutral feedback to a negative one on TECSHARE's trust. I don't get how TECSHARE is untrustworthy as a result of that though.
Yep. Funny how negatives seem to come out for anyone who is critical of his behavior. Just another demonstration of his disregard for his position on the default trust. Notice there is no reference and he refuses to actually quote any supposed lies he says I made about him. In short the negative rating is for being openly critical of his abusive behavior.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10848601That's how it works though. Vod doesn't trust symantec because symantec is involved in software piracy. Symantec is screwing over their customers by making them believe they get a lifetime, guaranteed licence while all they get is as-is, guaranteed to fail product key
unless symantec renews their MSDN subscription, which is highly unlikely.
You are confused. Please read again. This is a reference to the negative trust rating Vod has now left me for daring to challenge him on this subject in yet another lame attempt to try to silence people who are critical of him by further abusing his position on the default trust.
I am sorry if I misread that. However, it is still how trust works. You and Vod have a spat for ages, so it's only logical that Vod doesn't trust him. I reckon you wouldn't do business with Vod either, though you choose not to publish your distrust in Vod's feedback.
I had no problem with VOD until he initially left me a negative trust rating for openly discussing his abusive behavior towards other users and pointing out it is an example of how some users get preferential treatment on the forum to abuse the rules freely, but others are punished for the most minor single incidents.
His original abuse of the default trust directed at me in an attempt to silence my discussion of his abusive behavior:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/vod-should-be-removed-from-default-trust-for-systematic-abuse-of-his-position-915823When you occupy a position on the default trust there are additional standards that the administrator, staff, and mods have applied to such a position repeatedly in the past. Several people have been removed from the default trust for MUCH less than what Vod has been up to. People have been removed for of using the default trust in EXACTLY the way Vod is using it.
Why is it that Vod is allowed to use the default trust as he pleases over and over because "trust is not moderated", but other users are removed for doing this ONCE? The trust ratings say right in the description that it is to be used if you "believe the person is a scammer", his personal opinion of me is not an appropriate use especially considering his position on the default trust. Also my extensive history here as a legitimate trader also proves any claims of me being a scammer to be a complete fabrication. His claim is that I "lied" about him (which is not scamming BTW), he has no reference for it, and he can't even tell me what I said that was a lie. The trust system has just become a series of tools to protect insiders and scammers while extorting anyone else who tries to use it in any way that they don't agree with. Vod has no business being on the default trust, or in any position of authority.
If you still want to sell products (digital goods) find a legal Product to resell. Good luck
