What would you do?

I hate to even reply to this anymore. Simply put, I was not blaming anyone. Nor I was a trying to point a finger towards anyone specific. Furthermore, this scenario can come from all walks of life and financial stature regardless.

Just an FYI.
I hate typing in these little boxes. Having any type of conversation can quickly get misled, twisted, corrupted and turn into an argument before you know. Like this one and any forum I attend, people jump to hasty conclusion due to not being able to hear feelings..or expression in typed words. I'm just glad I never used the cute little smileys to add a pictorial.

Having recently purchased a Seagate external hard drive off eBay, and it arrived in perfect working order in reasonable time, I opened the box and hooked it up. All worked well. My next step (because it was a used drive) was to reformat it.

Upon right clicking "my computer", then "manage"....I saw that the drive was not wiped as noted in the listing. Upon seeing that there was 62 gigabytes of hard disk spaced used. My thoughts...Hmmm. Lets see what's there.

I saw there was a folder on the drive labeled MAC. After going into the folder I found MANY pirated software programs!!! I was shocked as my jaw hit my desktop.

Mind you......I bought this hard drive from a (supposed) church organization.

What would you have done?

Just formatted it
us folks here are aware of pirated software and what it does to the owners of the software/creators
who knows where the original drive came from
the people who put it on ebay may have not even known
maybe it was left to the church from someone else
personally i would have just formatted it
