Agozer Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 The very first day i got on the Internet, i joined up with one of those bullshit paysites and ended up paying for Kazaa Lite, and the file turned out to be a virus. I also paid for WinISO, which was useless and i ended up getting better results out of CDRWin (which i've never even had to go beyond the trial version). *sigh* I guess i was naive back then. But i know better now!! The best way is : Never use Kazaa or p2p. I agree. I you want to be aboslutely safe, don't use p2p programs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nezumi Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Those of you who claim not to pay for software: You probably do, provided you order computers from HP or Dell or Gateway. If you slap a PC together yourself, however, you can pirate even windows. I used to pirate software. Lately I've been looking to the free, legal alternatives. I'm looking to learning how to use The GIMP instead of Photoshop (which is worth the money, I might add; I just don't have any). I've abandoned MS Office for OpenOffice. Internet Explorer has moved aside for Mozilla Firebird, and Mozilla Thunderbird is now my e-mail client of choice. The next step is to ditch Windows in favor of Linux. Game piracy is an entirely different matter, though. I had a pirated copy of GTA3 and GTA Vice CIty. They didn't stay installed for long, I don't feel they are worth my money simply because they lack multiplayer features. Games made by Blizzard are worth my money. I've bought Diablo, Diablo II (and the expansion), Warcraft 2 (+expansion), Warcraft 3 (+expansion), Starcraft (+expansion), and I intend to buy Starcraft: Ghost and World of Warcraft when they become available as well. The feature I love most about these game (multiplayer) won't work if the game is pirated. I payed for the Original Half-Life way back when... doubt I'll be paying for it+expansions now that valve has ruined hte whole deal with Steam. Same goes for Half Life 2. Doom 3 is likely to be purchased by me, though. I've got some old text adventure games here I didn't pay for. The original company no longer exists. As for the ROMs I have... Well, ya got me there. The only arcades with KoF or Metal Slug or Samurai Shodown are hundreds of miles away, and I ain't drivin' just to play samsho5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenji_no_Ichi Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 IF you want to play multiplayer, you should to buy the game. But if you just want to play offline, i think you don't have to buy the game. just download it from the net. Open Source software is not the same w/ pirated software, but all of these are free. I love pirated software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diso Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 Some games aren't worth it but usually they are since u get a fancy CD key . Some companies are really stupid like EB who posted their HL cd key on their software so any smart person could walk by and copy it down . And Some games are really stupid like Microsoft's Halo that wants you to buy 8 Halo games just to play it on a LAN legally So I really only buy games that are worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder In Paradise Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 (edited) I usually don't pay for software, basically because I don't feel that the price warrants the amount of use I'll be putting it through. I recently bought Unreal Tournament 2003 and Unreal 2, and I was really happy that I didn't DL those because I love them both. But usually I just DL everything else like Paint Shop Pro 8, and Lightwave 7.5 because stuff like Lightwave and Photoshop 7.0 are quite expensive($700-1,200). P.S. Anybody know a good location to pick up a Norton Anti-Virus 2004 activation key gen? Edited January 19, 2004 by Thunder In Paradise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
