One, I will never visit Venezuela.
Two, your posts have enlightened me to understand why government agencies such as the FDA and the ATF exist. As annoying as they are, they allow me to relatively eat food without worry of contamination, and obtain guns that are generally quality controlled and I can shoot them generally without worry of severe injury.
Now, I understand why there's such a big movement to ban piracy. It's rampant in all parts of the world except for the U.S. Sure, we have the common pirate when it comes to music, movies and such, but we certainly don't have pirate vendors in the U.S. I'm glad my government hasn't reached that level of corruption to simply turn a blind eye to illegal vendors.
As for your issues with screwing with stuff, the solution is simple. Don't screw with stuff you don't have extensive knowledge of. If you had extensive knowledge of well, anything you've messed with, you would not have any created topics regarding those issues. The fact that you opened a topic with said issues tells me that you do not possess extensive knowledge of what you're dealing with.
I've discovered the reason that you'll get help on a forum like this is because either the person is genuinely nice and wants to help you, or they want that ego boost that says, "I know more than you do, you have no idea what you're doing, so here I am to help you."
Lucky for you, computers are generally harmless and if you make a mistake, you can just wipe and start over. Not so with a firearm. If you put it back together wrong, or modify one of the internals in such a way that is dangerous, it just may be your last bullet you'll ever fire.
Three, people can make WAY more money by simply putting a nifty little piece of code in their cracked software to steal your information, impersonate you online and take everything you have. People generally don't accuse these things right off of the bat when their identity gets stolen. It's the last thing they would discuss with their bank or insurance agent.
