This is likely to make me very unpopular very quickly on here but this really gets up my nose. I write software for a living and this kind of crap is precisely what puts people like me out of work. How many of you don't like to be paid for a job you've done? The guys behind this cool piece of software have clearly worked their asses off to turn it into the polished product it is and you're ripping them off. That program represents literally thousands of man hours of effort on somebody's part, for which they're entitled to some recompense if you want to take advantage of it.

 

It's $28 for crying out load, which at today's prices is about £16. Considering how much we spend modding and maintaining our cars, or even on fuel it's nothing. Also, considering how much time people on this forum spending bitching about "thieving chav scum", scroungers, freeloaders, benefit frausters et al it's a bit bloody hypocritical to then all rip off some software company wouldn't you say? And "But I can't afford £16" isn't an excuse. Would you nick a CD from HMV cos you can't afford £16? If you can't afford £300 for a new spoiler do you go and nick one from somebody else's car? In any case, if you can afford to run a zed, you can bloody well afford £16.

 

Download it, play with it: if you like it, pay for it, same as you would for anything else. FFS.

to be fair m8

 

no disrepect BUT ur saying u ahve NEVER had any cracked games, software?

 

i play games online competivly, i buy games that i play onlline, i know people that NEVER buy games or software

 

i pay for a teamspeak server, Battlefield 2 server, Fileplanet Account, i pay for my fair share of software :)

 

i see where you are coming from BUT why pay for sumthing when u dont even know if u like it?

If i like sumthing then i will buy it :)

 

besides im not forcing people to crack the trial im just offering it to people that want it

 

my view anyway

As I worked in the video game industry for 7 years, I feel qualified to comment on this....

 

Get over it.

 

Piracy (in whatever form) is a fact of life. The mark-up on software is massive compared to what it actually costs to make it. If the greedy software copmanies charged a fair price in the first place, piracy would reduce dramatically.

yea because everyone "owns" office :rolleyes: (clearly i do...)

You do have a fair point, but is the whole purpose of the internet not just to save money? :dance:

any luck with getting a working crack guys? ive downloaded about 3 different cracks but none work with 1.9.1

The mark-up on software is massive compared to what it actually costs to make it.

 

Maybe in your sector of the industry. Not in mine bud. It costs a shedload to make one of our tools by the time you factor in design, development, QA, marketing, sales team etc, and everything we do is cheap at around $300. Piracy is theft, like it or not, so no, I won't get over it. And if you don't like it, tough. I didn't say any of that because I thought it would make me popular.

no disrepect BUT ur saying u ahve NEVER had any cracked games, software?

 

No, I'm not saying that at all. Just that nowadays, and having seen things from both sides of the fence probably helps a bit, I choose to pay. How quickly would you name and shame someone on this forum (rightly too) if they failed to pay for something you sold them?

 

i see where you are coming from BUT why pay for sumthing when u dont even know if u like it?

If i like sumthing then i will buy it :)

 

This is shareware. You *can* try before you buy anyway, however continuing to use the product is a tacit agreement that you do like it, and so should pay.

 

besides im not forcing people to crack the trial im just offering it to people that want it

 

Erm... OK, whatever.

 

Look, I'm not trying to pick a fight, but piracy is theft. Whether you like that fact or not is irrelevant. Whether you agree or not is irrelevant. It's theft, pure and simple. Furthermore offering that crack is a direct contravention of the 300zx.co.uk AUP which specifically mentions "The advertising and sale of illegal bootleg material (such as copyrighted video, music and computer software)".

You do have a fair point, but is the whole purpose of the internet not just to save money? :dance:

 

Dave G

 

Indeed, but getting something for free by circumventing its license protection when you should be paying for it is *not* "saving money". It's theft. Like I say, £16 is nothing. It's shareware though so you're entirely within your rights to download and run the software within its trial period, but beyond that, if you like it and want to continue using it you should pay for it.

you can't argue, he's completely right!

Not very exciting I'm afraid guys, but I like it. It's my work's computer anyway.

 

at least now my desktop reminds me to save and i to could have an engine bay like this :bow:

p.s hope you dont mind Bee Gee Vinz

hehe cheeky speeddemon, thought i'd stop by for the afternoon :D havent been here in a while!

like i said m8

 

i see where u are coming from and i pay for more than my fair share of programs, like i also said before i more than likely buy this

 

people will ALWAYS crack games, programs etc

 

sumthing that the makers cant do nothign about

 

look at starfox, that has now been cracked and that was sopposed to be uncrackable

 

as for me brecking the rules, ill leave that up to the mods to decide

 

;)
