If this weren't so absolutely evil it would be hilarious

CIA used pirated, inaccurate software to target drone attacks: lawsuit | Raw Story

The CIA used illegally pirated software to direct Predator drone attacks, despite apparently knowing the software was inaccurate, according to documents in an intellectual property lawsuit.

Yes! You never read to the end of the EULA (End User's License Agreement), do you? No, you just click, what the hell. But way down near the bottom of that seemingly endless document is this entry:

If you are the CIA none of this applies to you, you can use the software any way you want please don't shoot.

If it weren't there, the FBI would now have to investigate the CIA and then they, the CIA, would have to pay a huge fine and go to jail for a long time, both in English and in French. 

So it' a good thing.

Oh, also, yeah, people died. There's that.
