A linguistic request.

Anyone out there speak Farsi? I need a translation, roughly, of *this site*.

Specifically, I need to know if this site is actually what it looks like: A site for the massive pirating of software, music, movies, books, etc. An actual full translation is not required, just confirmation that the license keys I get when I click the "Office 2007 Free Download" link on the front page is claiming to be legit and the installer claims to be downloadable.

There's nothing NWS on the front page, at the moment, but if it really *IS* a pirate site, that may not be work-safe for you.

You can download Office from the Microsoft site, and that site seems to just link to it. You need to buy a licence to stop it from disabling itself after your free trial is up, though.

But they've got a license key on the download page.

I just want to know if the shit on that site is pirated, or if it's a collection of links to legit downloads, or both. And I don't speak the language.

(Oddly enough, this is a work thing.)

I know a few words in Farsi, but yeah. That's it.

you just wanna know if it's safe to steal shit, huh.

It's actually for work. I've got files watermarked from that site all over one user's share, and I want to know if they're legit-but-rehosted-somehow, if there's a paid membership required for the site, or if they're just pirating things.

If I simply wanted to steal shit, I know three dozen sites in English, French, or German that I could use without needing a translation.

I'll find out

I'll ask Mike, who has a friend in Iran. But it will take a few days...

Since there is probably no references to land mines, or sentences such as "drop your weapon or you will be shot", I probably can't help you.
