Well, I would differentiate between someone's personal possessions being stolen and someone using warez for demo purposes or...well...whatever. I'm not willing to make them all the same, but then I don't tend to do this with many things in life anyway.Hink wrote:I wonder if you lost your gear like I did if you'd be singing the same song about different levels of stealing...I'll tell you where I will compromise, I will except the trying it out idea as long as the person doing it believes that enough themselves they in writing inform the company that's what they did...
As for writing the company regarding a warez demo, that seems so contrived that I can only assume you really mean there are no exceptions in life for your personal principles. Which is fine...but don't expect everyone else to agree with them or adhere to them simply because they work for you. That, I think, would be unreasonable. Live and let, so to speak.
No extreme views here. Maybe a few extreme tats and that's it. I really think it's up to what makes you able to sleep well at night. I don't personally care if a person decides to try before they buy, but I get a little ruffled if they are making money off it. extremely ruffled if they make enough where they could buy it easily. Devs work hard too. Inflated prices on some products or not. Image Line is a good example with fruity loops at $99.00. Why use a warezed version when you could get that much donating plasma a few times to buy it.
