    This is what corporations and governments think of real environmentalists and recyclers:
    Send them to jail!





    Because REDUCING and REUSING have little profits for corporations and governments. Throw away, buy new, mass consumerism is all these greedy bastards care about. Buy a new Microsoft key every time you buy a new computer too. Stupid consumers won't notice the extra pointless expense. Right?

    ^ That's why Microsoft wants these computers shredded instead of refurbished and reused. That's why Microsoft and Apple are the worst offenders of planned obsolescence of shit quality electronics, because they want to keep reselling you their crappy OS every couple years.

    He was simply burning CD's of 'FREE TO DOWNLOAD' OS Restoration discs. So users of these salvaged and restored computers could re-install Windows with THEIR hardware key. There was no piracy of any OS, no hacking of any key involved at all.
