  1. Informative
    WizPip got a reaction from tarsius in Linus tech tips "pirating" OCCT - answer from the dev [Reddit thread]   
    Yes and no. Sometimes individuals and companies make mistakes through ignorance, but usually in the first instance there is such a thing as a warning / request to comply / cease and desist / etc, unless you've blatantly done something illegal (e.g. speeding, because your licence was issued based on the fact you knew how to drive). In this instance, a communication - email or letter, should've been enough to settle the matter. The software itself should also include a splash screen denoting terms of use (e.g. "Not for commercial use") because software can change, and it can also be distributed by third parties. Without this notice that alone would be grounds for dismissal if it went to something like a court, unless every version of the product was paid and direct through the supplier (as this would prove liability).

    A good question, but both machines appear to be running from the PCIe 3.0 provision from the CPU rather than the chipset, and so are both running in PCIe 3.0 4x (3.8GB/s)
     
    The NAS has no separate video card and is driven by the CPU.
