1.I will tell you little description about pirated software. The pirated software does not contains genius key.
The pirated software, is the duplicated copy of origional, but in pirated copy some files must be missing it, thats why various types of error message appear and not working it properly and no future update must be coming it.
Pirated software must be inlegal in our country, but maximum operating system must be pirated in india.
When pirated operating system is using, that after connecting from internet, one message appear in lower down the screen that this copy is not genius.
Pirated operating system running very slowely compare to genius operating system, and many of the futures must be missing it in pirated copy.
