Phil_Da_Lick is right, 
Copying a file, instead of driving to the library,
wasting gas, is not the same thing as stealing from a tip jar.

I update my copy of Windows 8 _once_a_year_, roughly.

Last time, it stalled for _hours_.
I had to reboot, modify shit (see below),
then re-run Windows Update, etc.

My home folder is "C:\\__", but I don't let Windows know that.

I had to manually re-rename the "C:\\__\\My Documents" folder
to "C:\\__\\Sys", modify the registry (as follows), 
and reboot a few times.

Not based on what he said. Stuff like credit-card information, identity, etc 
is stolen all the time without depriving the original ower.

When you start claiming that you're pirating something in order to not waste 
gas then you've pretty much lost the argument.

Don't worry... I've never reported anyone so you won't be the first.

"Most often" - money can't gurantee health but it will improve your odds.

Sounds like a lot of work Why didn't you just put a symlink from \\My 
Documents to where you want the data stored. Or use "folder redirection" 
which will do this for you.

I shouldn't have to do _anything_ at all;
Windows Update shouldn't be reRenaming my system folders,
nor should it hang for hours, forcing kills/reboots.

It wasn't too bad, really, because all my setting are in
this .REG file: "Jeff-Relf.Me/Win_8_.REG.TXT".

Too happy is bad, "manic".
You want a balance: mental health.

99.99% of the time, mental health can't be bought;
however, in courts and hopitals, money helps.

That's fraud and _real_ theft, not "illegal copying".

Unless you use the correct terms, 
no one, including me, can take you seriously.

Would you jail librarians, 
take their money, and give it to Walt Disney ?

Is this what Walt wanted ?

Why are you renaming system folders - what problem are you trying to solve?

I have "My Documents" mapped to a network drive so that what's effectively 
the /home folder on Windows is the same across all my machines. I use folder 
redirection to do this and it's simple without having to muck with anything.

Stress is very bad for you. It's a killer both phyically and not good for 
your mental health. The #1 cause of stress is money.

I didn't say anything about illegal copying. I'm simply talking about his 
nonsense that theft can't occur unless the original owner is deprived of 
their ownership. Credit card, SSN numbers, etc prove that he's full of it.

Walt Disney is dead. Money isn't of any use to him.

I don't want Windows to know that "C:\__" is my home folder;
if it knew, it'd add subFolders to it, and crap like that.

Instead, I ReName "My Documents" to "Sys", under "C:\__";
so "Sys" is easy to see/search (it has important subFolders).

If, somehow, I managed to use your credit card,
I'd be taking money from you (and/or the bank);
this is properly called "theft" and "fraud", not "illegal copying".

You're hardly the first person to confuse these terms;
it's a common mistake.

Different installers are going to put these directories somewhere. Hiding 
them and confusing things seems like it would cause problems. Wouldn't it 
just be easier to delete the folders if they're created?

Certainly true for "some" - I know a few of these "some" people. Nothing 
wrong with that.

I'm not confused. Music/video piracy is copyright infringement. That's not

No, you can't just delete them, Windows reCreates them.

For me, on my system, everything installs correctly;
installers use logical paths, like %LocalAppData%.

When I put %LocalAppData% in Explorer's address bar,
"C:\__\Sys\AppData" shows up.

My Desktop is "C:\__\Sys\AppData\Desktop";
it's empty/blank, I don't use it.

_Only_ if you want a "wife", I think.

I have a vasectomy, I'm stress free.

If, on the other hand, I started a NetFlix thingy,
charging money for it, without paying the content creators,
my ass would be tossed in jail, and I'd be shut down.

It's happened before, many times, recently.

Those who do it anonymously, without fame or renumeration,
don't get caught.  They keep going, decade after decade.
They work hard, helping people, without payment.

Sounds like a pretty crazy setup but if it works for you then that's all 
that matters.

LOL. I have a friend in Colorado like that. He lives in a small cabin way up 
on a mountain.

I went the other way with a wife and four kids.

You know Rolf, that one can have a vasectomy and still have a wife. One 
can even have kids. As for stress free ... a wife is not the recommended 
way to achieve that. Just ask HVAC. Of course he considers all the men 
he takes fishing on BrokeBack lake to be his "wives".
