Interesting that Sili was saying these were perfectly legal in another thread but when he states that games are included he is supplying copyrighted material.

Now this is only a civil matter rather than one the police would be interested in but still on the dodgy side of things.

Gosh how shocking! What is the world coming to?? Where corporations can demand extortionate prices and practically rape consumers yet enterprising individualstrying to avoid this exploitation are ostracised for their actions.

*Cough* Spoilsport *Cough*

..Incidentally I don't wish for anyone to misconstue my opinion on this, I'm neither associated with Silicon boy here or any form of piracy.

Thankyou please.

Now the problem is that software engineers like myself work hard on something to make our living. Then people come along and rip it off thus costing us money. How would you like to go to work and not get paid for it? This is what ripping software off is doing. Yes, there are lots of middlemen making extortionate amounts as well, but in this case hurting one means hurting all, innocent, guilty, everyone.

I totally agree that games cost far too much as does music. iTunes is making inroads into that market I know they are at teh point of doing similar for films in America, hopefully someone will consider extending it to games as well. It comes down to teh old value for money situation. If game A was £10 they may sell 10 Million copies making 100 million gross, they hope that selling it at £45 they will still sell more than 2.5 million hence making more money.

I hear you mate, it's a shame that the world is run by numbers is all.
Out of interest what kind of software do you work with?
