It is easy to find copies of Windows 10 or Windows 7 via Torrent Trackers (torrent, because this system allows you to share large amounts of data). But as a clandestine user, you can then be carried away by a torrent of negative consequences, which is why you will have a better time to buy used Windows 10 from Licenceking than to download it illegally.
Here’s why it’s better to buy Windows 10 in second hand: the raid against sellers of illegal downloads
Recently, a major raid took place against German Usenet providers and forums (usenet-town.com, town.ag, town.ag, usenetrevolution and nfo-underground.xxx), as well as the speeduse.net application service provider, who illegally offered software, movies and music for download. Indeed, specialists at the Attorneys General of Frankfurt am Main, the Judicial Police of the Länder of Hesse and Saxony, the Attorneys General of Dresden and the Attorneys General of several other regions have been able to identify a wide range of copyright infringements on the Internet.
In 13 states, commercial and residential premises were searched for 42 suspects, many data media and computers were confiscated, and an investigation was carried out near computer centres in Switzerland, San Marino, Spain, Germany and the Netherlands.
Usenet is an online network operating on a global scale, or, where applicable, an autonomous service created well before the Internet. There are Newsgroups acting as hidden platforms where data is exchanged. Criminals also use this function to sell pirated copies of Windows 10. Special investigators deactivated illegal download platforms that had caused millions of dollars in damage.
Fear of legal action has prompted other illegal news bulletins such as Lords of Usenet, Wolfsteamers, Usenet Spacecowboys and Ghost of Usenet to cease their activities and leave the Internet. At the usenetrevolution.info download portal there are about 27,000 members who together had control over about 1.2 million titles like Windows 10. Cologne media lawyer Christophe Solmecke, who has an internal contact, revealed that the investigators recorded a large amount of data from the platform’s servers.
Buying Windows 10 illegally: the risk of being prosecuted for complicity
In the field, there was a rumour that users of the platform paying a subscription could not be aware of the illegal nature of the activities. Legal experts, on the other hand, categorically refute this. Solmecke, for example, explains that users who regularly pay subscription fees on a platform to operate the data service can be prosecuted for assistance in copyright infringement. Didn’t they financially support the platform’s activities, and thus contribute to the millions of damages against software manufacturers?
Indeed, the success of the investigations conducted by the German authorities proves that illegal downloading of software from the Internet is really not worth it. Especially since the key for Windows 10 can be purchased from Licenceking with a very good price-quality ratio, in an environmentally friendly way and with top-notch service. Indeed, you acquire from Licenceking an installation key that complies with the law, which is sent to you as soon as the payment is made, in a 100% secure and 100% legal manner.
Buying Windows 10 legally protects you against spyware
These web pages give a sense of security by publishing a list of known viruses with the mention „No viruses detected“. With this message indicating the absence of viruses, the user is looking forward to the upcoming download. Disappointment takes precedence when it proves impossible. Clicking on the download button only makes the site operators happy when they make money with their fake downloads or ads, or even because they have infested the user with malicious software.
In fact, not only is a Windows 10 Activator illegal, it can also be accompanied by various harmful programs with which developers of illegal tools set foot in the door. This provides them with easy access to your PC to install spy tools or dangerous programs. Licenceking recommends that you do not put your finger in the gear. At Licenceking, you find Windows 10 at a record price, and opt for 100% security and 100% legality! A good way to block spyware!
Microsoft tests pirated copies
The judicial police is not the only one to refine its investigation methods to ensure success – Microsoft also hunts down pirates! Indeed, point 7b of the Microsoft service contract guarantees the manufacturer the right to check the installed software before offering updates or configurations for download.
Microsoft has already announced unambiguously in 2015 that users of illegal versions of Windows 7 and Windows 8 could not switch to Windows 10 for free. Instead, Microsoft made an attractive offer to the hackers to allow them to acquire the software legally. Before upgrading to Windows 10, Microsoft marks illegal versions, so that a free upgrade can only be installed with a Windows 10 key.
Torrent Trackers exclude Windows 10 users
It is not only from a legal point of view that buying a key for Windows 10 from Licenceking makes sense. Indeed, Microsoft assumes the right, by changing the general terms and conditions of sale, to search for illegal software and hardware to disable them. These copy protection measures must allow Microsoft to prevent the use of unauthorized peripheral hardware or falsified software.
„We have the right to automatically check your software version. This is the condition without which we cannot make updates or configuration changes available without charging you a fee,“ the Microsoft text says. Even illegal torrent tracker sites have acknowledged this by excluding users of Windows 10. Hackers even expressly write on their web pages: „Windows 10 sends, among other things, the contents of hard disks directly to Microsoft servers. This represents a serious threat to sites such as hosts. That is why we are required to take action.“ So that the torrent trackers are not carried away by the flow of legal proceedings….
