You bought the item in good faith, to destroy it because you were lied to seems like a convoluted justice to exact on yourself; after all you're the innocent party.

So if I buy a stolen car, I can keep it?

This also violates Durametrics right to use agreement on their software.

Returning it really isn't an option either, even if I could. The guy would just sell it to someone else anyway. I suppose I could file a Paypal claim, but it would probably be more trouble than it's worth. Like I said, I'm just gonna let it slide.

Is the house you live in on former Indian land? Why aren't you looking into giving it back? It's just as arbitrary an argument...

A few comments

The Indians took it from someone.

Indians believe no one owns the land.

I am of native American descent.

Mark, I think you just got misled and became a victim. Thanks for taking the time to warn us. It's just too easy to cheat and copy something today.
Mike, you would have a meltdown if you saw how much pirated software and DVDs are being sold to soldiers at many forward bases overseas.
