9/6 I read the intuit is adding product key activation to turbo tax.
I've pirated every copy of TT for the past 10 years, I would hate
to have to start paying for it now. What are some of the standard
ways to get around product key activation? Thanks.
\_ one standard way is to pay for it
\_ I pirated TT for the first time this year, and boy, I'll never
make that mistake again. I like paying $20 for TaxCut so much
more. BTW, electronic submissions should be free - why are we
paying to save the IRS money?
\_ oh my god! you'd have to shell out $40 to do your taxes! this is
terrible! Seriously though, I'll happily pirate lame games but
no way in hell am I going to pirate my tax prep software, esp.
since it's so cheap. You have a job, you obviously like it. Pay
for it. Support the company.
\_ Plus it's tax-deductible for the subsequent tax year.
\_ You obviously have income, or else you wouldn't be paying taxes.
So buy the damn software. And it's not like there's not rebates
up the wazoo for tax software. Lemme guess, you also wanna get
around the fee to submit electrionically, right? Sheesh.
\_ <prole> hmm remember it's not "piracy" it's "content liberation"
\_ Yeah, other people's work wants to be Free!
\_ The hack I have for windows XP actually activates it. Other hacks
bypass checks to test if it's activated. I've used TurboTax for the
last 4 years, and have been happy with it (and paid for it each
year), but I'm sick of this treat-every-customer-like-a-theif
mentality, and am considering moving to human tax-preparer.
\_ I'd rather be treated like a theif than treated like a thief.
\_ Can I GPL my money? |
