Illegal Software/Downloads

[Google]

I'm just wondering if many people actually do this because I've heard so much about how bad it is and how you can be caught.

Everyone downloads illegal music though, so music doesn't count. I only mean like software that costs money that you used a key generator or something like that.

No I have not, nor do I agree with it.

Why do you want to know ? ?

I'm just interested in what the community thinks about illegal downloading and how many people are actually involved. If you don't want to say anything about this subject then don't.

Sounds like a backdoor route into a conversation that's frowned upon not only here but many help forums.

So far, 2 said "yes" and 3 said "no".

Well, they can frown all they like. My 2 cents worth is that downloading software by various means is something that everybody does. This forum has a policy of not helping people to do it, and I think this is mainly for legal reasons. If anybody starts getting holier-than-thou and preaching that "software theft is the devil's work", that is the point at which I tune out. However.

Your the one preaching... Read my comment closely. Did I point a finger?

You don't have to troll me every time I respond with my opinion to this type of topic....do you?

I haven't heard anything like this.

No o.o

Just a test.

Um, yea some of my friends in Somewhere in Alberta were fined apparently for downloading only illegal music on limewire.

And I think everyone has downloaded illegal software at least once. Don't have to come here preaching against your principles etc.

No, and I wasn't. I was making a general comment, not aimed at you in particular, to do with the point that you raised, namely that the topic being discussed is a sore point on some forums. I think you should try to be less defensive.

I have about 200 GB of DivX video files on my hard drives, over 90% of which is television shows and miniseries (CSI, Stargate SG-1, Battlestar Galactica, Band of Brothers, etc.).
