So, have you ever worked for some company that had Software?

If you have please explain in full detail how you NEVER used it for your
own benefit, after hours or during breaks? This includes browsing the
internet for jokes or silly things to cheer you up.

If you EVER used an employer's property for *ANYTHING* personal... using
your OWN definition... you have PIRATED THAT SOFTWARE!
