Are you to blame ?

This morning a stupid question has come to my mind while I am riding to office. I can not find the good answer for this question. Personally, I find it seems too hard tofind the best answer.

Here is the full story:
Suppose you are walking along a street and you see a wise venomous snake. Without hurting this creature, you just keep walking since it does not hurt or aim to hurt you. But just one minute later a child who walks peacefully after you is dead by the attack of the wise snack.

Are you to blame? If you killed that snack the child would not die. As the result, your kind action give a chance to snack to bite the child.

But why should you bother to kill that snack? It does not look harmful to you.

Microsoft's anti piracy fight

Since September 2004, Microsoft has launched a test tool named Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) to check whether the copy of Windows a PC is using is properly licensed.

Windows XP users have had to validate their operating system, since last July, to be able to download additional resources (software), such as Windows Defender, Windows Media Player or Internet Explorer 7.

Starting Tuesday, WGA is supposed to be sent to millions of people in the United States, United Kingdom, Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand, Microsoft said Monday. Following download and installation of the WGA Notifications tool, users of a pirated copy will see alerts at startup, login and during their use of the operating system. The alerts read: "This copy of Windows is not genuine; you may be a victim of software counterfeiting." while those who use a legitimate copy of the software won't see any messages, Microsoft said.

Download and installation is optional and users will be able to uninstall it at anytime, said David Lazar, director of the Windows Genuine program at Microsoft. They can also suppress the alerts by right-clicking on them when they appear during the running of Windows.
