Hi all this is amazing

I was playing with my hex editor looking at a few wave files which come with microsoft help media player section I found out that mircosoft used a illegal pirated version of SoundForge 4.5 to create those wave files. You can see for your self if u use windows XP

copy and paste this in address bar

%systemroot%\Help\Tours\WindowsMediaPlayer\Audio\Wav\

and now open one of those wave files in notepad at the bottom of the file footer it says

LISTB INFOICRD 2000-04-06 IENG Deepz0ne ISFT Sound Forge 4.5

which means its registered to some guy called "Deepz0ne" @ 04-06-2000

after some research i found out he was a cracker from some group called Radium which is a popular cracking group anyways I attached a picture of how it looks

I doubt they care, especially since I believe they have all their bases covered w/ all the freaggin EULA's you agree to when using their software...
