You made a statement that there were plenty of stories about people getting busted for software piracy that used the "I didn't know it was wrong" defense. I challenged you to provide one instance where that had occurred as a result of an individual user selling a computer with an unlicensed OS on it. I've never heard of individuals being targetted by police or other authorities for selling their own computer with an OS on it. That doesn't make it right, and I'm not saying it's right.
