- You are drastically underestimating the warez crowd out there...they're
- handing out software left and right. Fortunately most of these people
- are High Schoolers and College Freshmen (or you'd think so by their
- intelligence levels.) They probably wouldn't have half their software
- stuff, it is just another trophy for them. Unfortunately, they crack
- this software and they put it in highly accessable areas where anyone
- can get to it with little knowledge (try ftpsearch) Today I ran across
- a crack for executor (no I'm not going to post the location...so calm
- down ;) but it doesn't matter to me as my boss bought this for me last
- week anyways. I have always believed that if the software is worth
- using, it is worth paying for. I use the warez channels and everything
- else to find software. If I use it more than a week, I try to pay for
- it (note I said try...not going to be a hypocrite and a lier :) or find
- a reason for my boss to buy it for me. Most of the time the software
- does not hold my attention for more than a week and gets deleted...
-
- I have CDrom after CDrom that this fits that discription, and I'm glad
- I've found other ways to get the software than to pay for it, when I
- know I'm not going to use it. I'm just glad there are those that offer
- quality shareware such as ardi, so I don't have to be illegal and can
- try before I buy.
-
- BTW I downloaded the Executor crack if any of the ardi employees want to
- look at it...no I'm not going to give it out to anyone else, if you have
- half a brain in yo head you can find it yourself (actually you'd
- probably have to look har for this one :)
