I read the first 20 or so posts in this thread, then skipped the rest, so this may have already been pointed out.
But this is one thing that jumped out at me...

People should be allowed to inquire about which version he has

but they should be allowed to ask
And I have to say, no you shouldn't be allowed to ask.
It is none of your frackin' business where I get a piece of sftware, unless that software was made by you and you have reason to believe I did not pay for it.
It is none of your business where he got his software. If you want to ask him what version he has because it affects the possible answers you gave him, like a feature not supported in one version that is another, that is fine. But if you want to ask what version he has because you don't believe he paid for it, it is none of your damn business.
Don't answer him if you don't want to, but openly accusing someone of pirating software is just lame.
