TurboTax's "competitors" are part of the same protection racket. Taking away business from any/all of them is a win.
I do wish my approach were more scalable so that lots of people would do it. But for now I'll have to be content with personally not supporting the racket.
Also, piracy is not stealing.
- andsoitis 4y ago> Also, piracy is not stealing. How is piracy different from shoplifting shrink wrap software from a store?
- ThunderSizzle 4y agoBecause that's a physical item, and it can't be duplicated. It's not yours, and taking it deprives the owner of it, and gives it to you. Stealing can be applied to non-physical goods. The argument that a digital copy doesn't remove it from the original owner. It's straight duplication. I believe piracy can be stealing, but I've heard all thr arguments ad nasuem.
- mindslight 4y agoIt doesn't involve opening shrink wrap, for one.
