   @thartist, almost anything in life can be had for free if you want to inconvenience yourself enough.

   @Keverin, what's the point of forecasts and windows when you could just use ESP?

   @dhry, here are some benefits of version 7:
   
   - Offers data from WeatherBug, Weather Underground and NWS weather stations.
   
   - You can access many more weather stations. In Weather Watcher 5, I see one weather station for my zip code. I can access 65 weather stations in version 7.
   
   - In most areas, you can access current conditions from weather stations that are streaming data in realtime. Weather Watcher 5's weather stations sometimes don't update for up to 45 minutes.
   
   - If you live outside of the US, you'll be able to access hourly forecasts.
   
   - Better software. Less bugs. Version 5 is quite old now.
   
   - Comfort of knowing you'll be using a software product that is consistently maintained and improved upon.
   
   I'm happy that Weather Watcher 5 is still up and running and people are still able to use it for free. I guess that'll last until The Weather Channel decides to cut is data feed.
   
   I find it a little odd that you rated version 7 at two stars though. Aren't ratings supposed to reflect the quality of the software, rather than your disapproval for not being able to use a product (that you didn't even try) for free?

   @emanresU deriseD, you can upgrade to a lifetime license by paying the difference ($40). There is a link on the license purchase page.

   I'd imagine you would be quick to change your tune if you knew exactly how many Microsoft products were directly or indirectly used by you on a daily basis. You would be a lost soul without Microsoft ;)

   It's pretty amazing that people have enough free time to continuously attempt to break software.

   Agreed.

   You don't see why Google is concerned? How would you feel if someone mis-keyed your website URL by one letter, installed a nasty virus, and was left with a non-functional computer?
   
   The problem is that Google.com already existed before this guy decided to go out and register those domain names. His intentions were obviously not legitimate.
   
   What evidence are you looking for? All of the domain names are one letter away from Google.com. The domains he registered did not represent a company name (e.g. Google.com for Google, Microsoft.com for Microsoft, etc.), nor did the domain name have anything to do with the contents of his website. The websites all promoted the installation of spyware and/or viruses.
   
   I don't think anything can be done about WhiteHouse.com. That website is legit, and it's not using a registered trademark, company name, etc. It seems they would have been taken down years ago if they were in the wrong. I'm surprised they haven't been bought out yet.

    However, if my neighbor builds a cool new shed, that he intends to market, and I see him build it from across the street, and then I build my own just like it, did I steal it?
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    
    If your neighbor really intends to sell the design, than you just stole the idea. You'll most likely get your pants sued off too.
    
    Your example has nothing to do with stealing music. However, it would be a good example of stealing a trademark, patent, etc.
