103415 2002-12-05 21:52:00 Tim- sounds like your friend gave you a warez copy. no game manafacture would put a cd gen on a retail disk.

this forum does not advocate the use of cracks/cdgens/warez so please DO NOT bother asking about them or fixes for them

103417 2002-12-05 22:31:00 Rich? Sounds a bit rich, Timmy .
We cannot sanction people helping people to pirate here . I bought my copy of Warcraft, so I am subsidising (check the dictionary) people (I use this word although I admit I am tempted to use a number of others) .

If dollars are a problem, there is nothing to say you can't borrow a game off a friend when they are finished, well unless the fine print says so or buy the game second hand .

103418 2002-12-05 23:01:00 Tim, Tim, Tim. No piracy/warez on this site. What you do in the privacy of your own room is your biz, but this is a public forum and our postion on this is clear. We do not condone or promote software piracy on this site. So no more questions asking how you can get lewgit CD keys to illegitimate copies of games, OK?

And for the record, just because soemone choose to spend money on a game doesn't make them rich, and not having the moeny to spend does not give you the right to steal software instead.

103419 2002-12-06 00:59:00 Theres not alot of people here that are rich.. we may prioritise so that we have some nice toys but apparently the wealthy in this country are too busy driving round golf courses and getting arrested in Auckland while in dubious states of mind.

Look i have my own land, 2½tonnes of sound and liting gear ($40,000 worth last count) but have lived half this year on pototoe sandwiches and can only afford the electricity to wash my self when i have to meet with people.. At one point i considered losing my cable modem, but i had to draw the line somewhere.

In short it is not excess wealth, but prioritisation that gives most us here the toys we most want.

And if you are going to use a naughty copy of a game... remember there are some things it pays not to advertise

103421 2002-12-06 02:12:00 What's it like on your planet, Tim? ?:| You just don't get it do you? Miami Steve (2128)
103422 2002-12-06 02:52:00 One day, Tim, there's going to be a loud knock on your door and a man dressed in blue will ask you to accompany him. Apart from a big fine you may well lose all your computer epuipment.

You qualify as stupid for two reasons:

1. You steal software and don't see anything wrong with it!
2. You brag about it in an open forum!

A lot of people steal software and keep their heads down and never get caught. But you, you will get that knock on the door pretty soon!

Tim - if you're trying to wind us up by playing dumb here's a news flash - it's working .

But on the off chance that you really don't get it, here's how it works . If your friend gave you your games, and you are using key gens to play, that's software piracy . Piracy is also known as theft .

Just because your friend may have paiud for the game, doesn't give him the right to allow it to be copied by someone else . Gert it? It's theft . Stealing . Piracy . A bad and dishonest thing to do .
