Brooks (flash@wizvax.net, et al.)...this guy CHUBAK is hawking the same
crap.
Do the software industry a favor and DON'T buy from him.

Don't buy from this guy, it's PIRATED product...do a power search on
dejanews.com on the author name of mav5@bright.net

You'll see the guy's selling EASY FULFILLMENT product - only legal to those
who already possess a Microsoft site license.

Here's a newspaper article from the Albany, NY Times-Union about GARY
BROOKS,
a person who also sold Microsoft Easy Fulfillment product:

MAN CHARGED WITH SELLING BOOTLEG MICROSOFT SOFTWARE
MIKE FRICANO Staff writer

     Troy A city resident has been charged with selling bootleg copies of
computer software.


     Gary Brooks, 43, of 41 114th St., allegedly advertised and sold
illegally
copied Microsoft products on the Internet, police said. When they searched
his
home they found more than 100 copies of Microsoft Office 97, which retails
for
between $300-$400 but which Brooks sold for $35, said Troy Police Capt. Jack
Mahar.

     Brooks was charged Aug. 11 with second-degree trademark counterfeiting,
unlawful duplication of computer-related materials and criminal possession
of
computer-related materials, police said.

     Police said they are trying to determine whether Brooks was part of a
larger network of computer software piraters.

  Troy police became involved in the case after receiving a call from a New
York City detective agency, hired by Microsoft to monitor software
bootleggers, Mahar said. A search warrant was then obtained and Brooks was
arrested, Mahar said.

     The penalty for a conviction on each charge is 1 to 3 years
imprisonment.
Brooks remains free pending further legal action, police said.
