i have no idea of what you are trying to say here, and not due to my ignorance but your lack of explanation of your point. just step back for a second and ask your selve if what your saying is
a) illegal
b) can be used for illegal activities
c) can be construed to be illegal
if any of these hold then i suggest you stop before you dig yourselve into a hole

Thanks

I am just saying if some are having problems with genuine advantage Microsoft made it to be turned off. By using thier disable feature THEY built in. But most don't know that.
