Everything on pirate bay is now "re-released for free"!!

I'm not saying I agree or disagree with piracy, it's just an extremely odd way to phrase it and implies it's a legitimate re-release and legitimately free, when it's neither.

Someone just uploading it to the internet isn't "re-releasing it for free", it's just a pirated copy packaged up nicely. Odd way to report. Article states he claims it's abandonware and no one knows who has the rights, but it's hardly a legit re-release.

Yes, it's mentioned in the summary.

My point was to explain this is exactly how normal auctions work. Same in person too, you shout out a bid slightly higher than the last, never revealing how high you were actually willing to go. Ebays motivations weren't the point.

Ebay doesn't charge you the highest amount you put in that you are willing to bid. It automatically buds what ever gets you the winning price (I.e just over what second place max is). This sounds like it's working the same way, then they decided to boost the second place to get more of the mm winning bidders top limit.

"It's just a bad cold"

Yeah, I was well aware. The part I didnt realise is that apparently I had only ever installed OEM versions of Windows 95

Everyday is a school day, even if its nearly 30 years late. Had no idea that the key I had memorised back in the day was an OEM key (although not thought about it in a very long time). My mistake!

Except that was the key format used for office, publisher, visual studio etc and not what windows 95 used (XXXXX-OEM-XXXXXXX-XXXXX)
