@thanksajdotcom In life you will learn that having unbelievable integrity means a lot to people.
Can you do what your doing? Sure, I considered doing it. I have a dreamspeak key too, but I am not a student, so I don't use it.
What happens when you don't get a job offer because of this posting?
If a job is going to mince words over an issue like that, I don't want to work there anyways. Also, we've already established the Dreamspark key is valid for life and that's perfectly legal. What you're doing by not using it is just stupid, as it violates nothing to use it.
So if a company won't hire you over lack morals and ethics it's just stupid. Hmm.. Well McDonalds will hire without ethics.

It's about being reasonable. I'm using a Dreamspark key, which is legitimate, for my own personal educational purposes. I did not pirate the key. So I'm using it on a cloud server. Oooohhhhh, big whoop. If a company really wanted to dig deep enough into my world to find that out, AND make an issue out of it, they can take any job they have and stick it. Not worth it to me to work for a company that digs that deep into your life.

I am a firm believer in being moral and ethical. However, where there are rules, there are reasonable ways to bend said rules. I didn't torrent my key or even my ISO. All that is legit. The fact I'm using it on a hosted platform may violate the letter of the licensing agreement, but not the spirit. It's datacenter but I'm not running Hyper-V on it or hosting other machines. You really want to get all over me for doing this with one VM over a pretty minor technicality? Also, it's not a business. As I've said, if this was a business environment, I would following the licensing to the T. Not worth the risk to do otherwise. But in this case, with this server, and because it's not in a business environment, who cares?

It's not legitimate for the use you used it it does not matter that the key is valid.
You obliviously don't realize how good SEO is and that any company will think this means you don't care about terms, laws etc. and will do the same on their own network. I'm curious of what @Minion-Queen would think of a employee or potential employee posting they don't care about violating licensing terms, pirating etc on a public forum.

Ok, violating licensing terms is not equal to pirating. I don't agree with that.

Microsoft does, else they would have made an exemption clause for educational use. They did not.

Either one is violating the licensing. So yes as far as your agreement it is just as bad.

Yeah, and a move like that costs them probably tens of thousands of dollars, because of all the meetings and legal time it takes to get like that spelled out. Again, if they really want to come after me, I'm sure they can find me.

Make up your own rules all you want. But the facts are still facts.

@thanksajdotcom said:

Well that's just silly. You have pirated software, plain and simple. There's no grey area here. You can "disagree" all you want but you are either delusional or just being untruthful. Using software without a license (another way to say in an unlicensed way) IS piracy, that's what piracy is. That's ALL that piracy is.
You can make up your own term for piracy all you want, but disagreeing with the simple truth is kind of ridiculous. Feeling that going after you isn't worth it? Sure, that's an opinion and probably correct. Thinking you aren't pirating? You must think we're idiots to think you actually don't think you are pirating.
-
The bottom line is.... you don't care that you pirate things. And that's fine, sort of. Take it for what it is. You are open about your piracy, proud of it, I think. You brag about it constantly. When someone calls you on it you use your catchphrase "whatever." Having no moral compass and stealing from others is something you make a decision about. You lose all professional respect and personal integrity when you do it, but that's your choice.
But claiming that the most basic piracy isn't piracy isn't something you get to have an opinion on. It is what it is.

We can't all have your level of income @scottalanmiller, or get everything you get for free or insane discounts. Being you has granted you certain privileges that I think has disillusioned you to the situation most people are in. Maybe it's the Aspergers or something else, and I don't mean that as a dig, but if it's piracy, fine. It is what it is. No one has been hurt or killed in the process. Microsoft has not gone out of business. No one has lost a job because of this. Yell at me all you want for my "lack of morals/ethics" but from where I'm standing, I don't see anyone suffering.

Not having a income to afford something doesn't entitle you to free, reduce stuff or to steal it. Seriously Go in Walmart and try that. just walk out saying it's okay I can't afford this item. That's entitlement attitude someone else has it so I should get it. It's stealing it does not matter it it's a tangible product or not.

Again, you view using a proper license in this way as stealing. I don't. Argue all you want, but the logic in my head will not view it that way. The example you use is irrelevant to this example.
-
That being said, I do agree that physical tangibility is not a deciding factor in a case of theft.

It is stealing. It's not subject to opinion. It is a fact!

At worst it's stealing. But misuse of a license would be better construed as breach of contract. You don't go to jail for breaching a contract, not in this country.

You can when it is piracy. Many people have gone to jail for that. You can say that all piracy is a breach of contract, that's valid. And you can say that that should never send someone to jail, and that's valid. But it's piracy. The software is being used where there is no license. A license only exists when used in the licensed way.
