Do you currently own any backed up/patched/programs requiring a serial/key you didn't purchase/other bootleg software?

excluding mp3s, and no need to publicly confess to what you own. Just wondering the general consensus.

Step 1: Buy Madden 2002
Step 2: Burn a Copy of Madden 2002
Step 3: Return Madden 2002


[edit] Technically, it's a purchase

You could 0wn it, pwn it, q0wn it, but never truly own. 🙂

100% legit OS, legit games, legit software. 🙂 Warez is bad, mmkay?

I do have backup Diablo II discs, but they're *gasp* LEGAL backups, with a legit Battle.net key. My little brother destroyed my playdisc. :| Borrowed my older bro's, took it for a spin in my überBurner, and I was off and running in 15 minutes.

The problem is not that Office is too expensive, it's that you don't make enough money or don't use it wisely.

If you're going to be a pirate, at least take responsibility for it.

Sweet thread.


We all know that everybody who owns 80GB+ hard drives are storing Linux ISO's, huge graphics, and really really big swap files, right?

Bingo.

"Oh, I have 5098723 different warez programs ... because they cost too much, and I hate Bill Gates, and I'm just trying them, and I wouldn't have bought it anyways so it's not really stealing, and this one's my friends and he's not using it because his computer can't run it, and this one I just wanted, and ..."

M4H: (storms out of room, pissed with four-digit ping to websites and slow email) Dude, the connection is slow as sh|t. WTF are you downloading? I'm trying to get research done here.
Roomie #1: I'm getting MP3s over Gnucleus, I need this new album, and then four movies, because I don't wan-
M4H: Fvck you, you self-righteous asshole. Your god damn movies can wait. Turn on the bandwidth limit. You, what the hell are YOU doing?
Roomie #2: Pr0n.
M4H: What, no excuses?
Roomie #2: Nope. Just want some pr0n.
M4H: *sigh* Can't argue with that. Put your bandwidth limit on, and share when you're done, eh? 😉

100% legit here. If I can't afford it, I don't use it or I search for a freeware program that will do what I need.

 
Of course not! I would never stoop so low as to steal from hard working companies such as Microsoft and Blizzard. I do not own a bruner, I do not have any MP3's. I am a stand up citizen.

I feel so dirty after saying that 😱

Yes, Mr. Gates. We're not stealing and distributing your Longhorn betas. Now, go delete the Palladium source. That's a good boy. 😀

yup, mostly stuff that i can't afford / can't justify cost of buying

i also have some patched/serialed programs that i legally own but lost the key for 😱

Some of us have graduated and have a decent job.

100% legit. I don't even have Kazaa / etc. installed though I'm tempted to since netflix only has 1-6 of the 8 Tenchi Universe DVDs :|

<-- owns over 1,000 music CDs, originals not burned.
