I see what your saying, they seem to be popping up everywhere. I know a guy that bought this one and it does work, it's hard to believe they are getting away with selling it (I paid 17x that much for it [:@]).

They do it because the guy you know bought it.........

Guys, the website that is the subject of this thread is selling a product that violates US copyright laws.

RCU rules request that nothing that would aid copyright infringement be posted. So be careful what you post as you might actually be helping the corrupt dealers who are marketing illegal products.

That's true, but if the product is there people are going to buy it. In today's society "most" people are looking for the cheapest way out (with any product).

by that logic, your friend is geeked out on acid right now...
the product is available, so he will buy it.......

How many people would find that site in the process of searching for a flight sim for sale and question whether or not it's illegal to be selling what they're selling?

And of course how many of those who would question it would actually stop and NOT purchase it?

Unfortunately I think the majority of people wouldn't even question it. And of those that did question the legality would probably somehow justify that since it's being sold openly it must be legal to do so and purchase the product anyway.

Is it up to the American consumer (or World consumer) to enforce the law or is it up to the law enforcement officials to protect the public from the unlawful?

Laws are only as strong as the enforcement behind them. I'm not advocating breaking the law. But, let's be real. The site needs to be shut down by those responsible and until that happens, until the law steps in, those who purchase the product have only their moral compass to go by.

The question has been asked if this practice is illegal, and the question has been answered. Some posts have been made with links to sites selling this item which violates US copyright law. These posts have been removed and I see no reason to leave this thread open any longer. I'm locking this thread.
