What I think is the best way to act against Warez, is to teach people is wrong, but not act like a supreme-warrior against people that do.
Too much anger bring you to the dark site...

You know, it did occur to me that of all the warez categories, it is interesting that we're talking about software for creating music, which is a rather noble undertaking in many ways -- the music, not the warez. In other words, people who use this cracked software are interested in using it for an art form. Not saying this makes warez a good thing. Just noting that the end goal isn't something maliciioius or anti-social. If any of this even matters?jplanet wrote:Ok, I'm not going to look at this thread for one hour.

Interesting point. Though if anyone stole one of my guitars for the noble purpose of making music, I wouldn't sleep until I'd hunted them down and eviscerated them with my bare hands.eduardo_b wrote: You know, it did occur to me that of all the warez categories, it is interesting that we're talking about software for creating music, which is a rather noble undertaking in many ways -- the music, not the warez.

Very good point.loomchild wrote:...If you want to fight warez, do your best for the living conditions to be little more even all over the world. Why do you think most counterfeit products originate from South East Asia, Russia or Latin America and are primarily sold and used there? The amount of money it costs a citizen from a Western country to purchase a piece of software is relatively way smaller than what it costs citizen of many poorer countries. Should we answer those people that they should have the hobbies they can afford? " Sorry guys, why don't you use rubbish tape recorders?, you don't need that Cubase thingumabob".
The technological gap between the economic "North" and the economic "South" is widening each day more. If warez can help reducing it in a way, then most of your holier than thou attitudes are worthless and finally morally questionable.
I agree that it may not justify the fact that some people who may afford the software they use illegitimately do actually use it. But let's face it, globalization is well...a global thing. If you can sell your products to wherever in the world one can think of with distribution costs close to 0 due to electronic shipping (and increase the range of your potential custommers by that) then you have to face the opposite effect(the fact that warez being cracked by people from poorer regions of the world can be bought/used by richer people. The issue is about the balance between the twos...

But that's because then you couldn't use it anymore (it's your only one and it's gone). Whereas in the case of someone copying some of your music software you wouldn't even notice (suddenly there are two).selfconstruct wrote:Though if anyone stole one of my guitars for the noble purpose of making music, I wouldn't sleep until I'd hunted them down and eviscerated them with my bare hands.
