      Using windows without a license is illegal.

      This is like saying you don’t need to have a driving license to drive a car because the car doesn’t complain about it.

        Windows licensing doesn’t have enforcement. If there weren’t police plenty of people would drive without a license.

          Commenting on c/Piracy doesn’t exclude I pay for software, indeed I payed for 3 windows licenses two with the costs of my 2 laptop and one I payed my self in my custom built pc. (And I’m only counting windows 10 licenses because the count would be much higher if I counted windows xp,vista,7 and 8) and that was my only and one comment on every piracy related community.

          Edit: the same people force you to have a windows license and a driving license, but one get checked more than the other that’s it.

          Illegal or not, most of the people out there never installed their os, because they buy a device with an os preinstalled and indirectly they buy the license for windows.
