I'm an ethical person, but I'm also unethical as well.
On my Job corp center here, I'm known as "The PK" to some, because I have vast collection of "media" (Safer word than warez
). But, I do link back to or give credit to the original creators.
Just as long as you're ethical here. We don't support any form of pirating. Since you know what it is like to be ripped off, you certainly can understand why. After all, whether it is an individual's time spent on creating freeware or a vendor application or product that people have spent a great deal of money on developing, testing, marketing, distribution, and education it is stealing.
I do my best to try something, and if I like it, I'll buy it. I mentioned this in another section of the forums. I used to pirate everything I could get my hands on, but I soon realized that wasn't the path to go down. My most recent acquisition was the Five Finger Deatch Punch album; The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell. I downloaded it, and instantly fell in love, so I bought the full album. There are very few things I won't purchase, i.e. Adobe CS6 Master Collection. Its nearly $5,000 for the full MC, bit absurd when it costs less to buy all the individual ones you'll actually use.
But when it comes to SN, EF, & SF, I'm legit! I won't share, advertise, or encourage it. My support is 100% legit, and will always be that way. If someone can't afford it, I'll suggest another option; i.e. Linux / Unix.
Anyways, that was a bit off topic
I grew up being told "Honesty is the best truth, lying only makes your life harder." The things cute girls say!
