“In July 2013 I bought on eBay a used copy of the program to learn the language for $ 150. We never used it or not I installed for this reason that shortly after he made the purchase of a new copy, the latest version on Amazon.
A few months ago, I decided to sell unused, old version back eBay. Two days later, the item was pulled from eBay because it was a fake, a lawyer with the company producing the software phoned me and ordered to pay software and pay compensation for moral damages in the amount of $ 800.
