I dare you to sit there and tell me that you have never, ever, not once,
borrowed/made a copy of a computer game or downloaded a shareware program
and not ever paid for it.

Borrowing is perfectly legal. Even permanent transfer of the license is
perfectly legal (with or without payment to the original license holder).
Making a copy and redistributing the copy is not. As for paying for
shareware software, the whole point is that you download, try it, and if you
use it beyond whatever trial period is stipulated, you pay for it.
Downloading shareware software and then not paying for it is perfectly
legal, provided you don't use the software beyond the trial period.

As for whether I have ever done any of those legal things, yes I have.
However, I'm not guilty of any of the illegal things you seem to think
impossible to avoid.

But regardless, your original challenge was whether someone "uses this
perfectly legal software for somewhat nefarious purposes". Even if I had
made an illegal copy of a computer game, that would not have applied to your
original "one dollar" challenge.

I have never violated any copyrights through the use of file sharing
software. Not that I ever expect to see the dollar you wagered -- it's just
not in your nature to admit you were wrong -- but facts are facts.

If you say that, I'll never believe it and label you the lying hypocrite
that you are.

You won't believe it because you just can't stand the thought that someone
might actually have a point. You can label me whatever you like, it doesn't
give you a leg to stand on, nor does it change the fact that I'm not a
hypocrite, nor that I am not lying.

Psst: I spit on the sidewalk today, too.

No big surprise there. Why do you even bother to mention it?

News flash for you: the fact that you're a thief doesn't mean everyone else
is too.
