That's odd.
It doesn't stop such material ending up on my computer.
How does one block the stuff?

I agree that software piracy, and stealing music & video material etc ... are
criminal.
That is why I never do so !
BUT :
It is not up to Microsoft to play the policeman, the CIA, the KGB or whatever.
MS = software manufacturer.

I suggest that MS does her job and that the police and others do theirs.

Nowadays they both punish people for not doing anything wrong.
And those who should do it, do not punish enough (do not even catch) the
real bad guys who do the wrong things.
Why does MS have to avoid these crimes ? My car does not prevent me from
driving to fast, does it ? It is up to the police to punish me if I do so !
The manufacturer of my car couldn't care less.

What a bizar world with contradictory measures are we living in ?
