Yeah....89 bucks.....and *still* 89 bucks.....but worth it, I guess...for
the peace of mind...
But I don't like to have anything installed on my sys. without the discs to
recover from problems.... and for those times when I get P'O'd and
reformatt my entire hard drive /u ...LOL  (only twice last year, I'm
getting lazy, and don't like re-installing things)

Hmm, and I fail to get e***d about paying more for my games because of
people who pirate them. I don't blame a game producer for putting this
option in at all. But then again, I'm one of those guys who had access to a
win95 upgrade cd, but went out and bought my own copy when I upgraded.

I can't help but think that presenters of this piracy vs. software
cost argument either have some ulterior motive or have been
brainwashed.  The software companies already charge as much as they
think they can get away with.  They know that jacking their prices up
would cause a greater number of people not to buy or to pirate their
software, thus having a negative effect on their profits.  The number
of people currently pirating the software have been figured into the
equation.

Programming in "options" designed to fight piracy more often hurt
legal owners than pirates.  Anyone intent on pirating a game can do so
if he/she puts his/her mind to it.  The anti-piracy features are
always cracked by someone.  I struggle to think of one game which has
not been cracked.  Hence, all the pirates get to play anyway.  Which
people don't use the crack and are thus inconvenienced?  All the
honest people who bought the game.

heheh  you guys are cute  :)

kill yourself  hehehehehe  i like that  :)

The other groups you posted it to were appropriate,
rec.autos.simulators is not. While you personally may not be into
piracy and own the game, posting such files helps others to pirate the
software and that causes problems for those on rec.autos.simulators.

If you must post the files then please restrict it to the newsgroups
dedicated to that sort of thing, that way those who want the files can
find them, and you don't cause problems for us on r.a.s.

Thanks,
John

Death is fun.

as far

Yeah, if you think about it, if 1 of 10 copies of a program were
pirated,
that would mean you'd have 10% less sales, which would mean you'd have
to
divide your developement and marketing cost by a lower number, which
would
mean you'd have to charge a percentage more for each copy...  Hey, wait
a minute,
it does make a difference!

puhleeeeeeeeze...wake up and smell the coffee o' gullible

You wouldn't be running Windows 95 would you?  If so, you're a
hippocrite.  Vote
with your wallet, toss ALL your MS products, and buy something decent.
Something
that YOU like and believe to be a fair deal.

you'd be able to call tech support and actually speak to

You probably could if there weren't thousands of people out there who
jump for the
phone at the first difficulty instead or actually reading the
documentation that
came with their product.

or if your CD got stolen or broken they'd

And certainly NO one would take advantage of that and (gasp) LIE about
their CD being
stolen, just to get another copy.  That would be like using no-CD
software cracks, for
God's sake.  Now who would do that?  Seems like you could use a whiff of
that coffee
yourself.

But it's a public that obviously WANTS to be screwed, otherwise he'd be
broke!  Once again,
if you feel you're being hosed, vote with your wallet.

because like everything else in this world pal...EVERYTHING
Most things today are about money.  So why don't you take a powder and
pony up some of yours for software.  If you just can't bring yourself to
do that, then at least have enough class not to advertise for a crack
on a newgroup.  Mr. Burnette is, in my humble opinion, correct.  

Pricing? Who the heck mentioned pricing?

We _do_not_want_ talk about cracks or warez on rec.autos.simulators.
The reason has nothing to do with price. It is purely and simply
because developers participate here, and a few fools ramming warez
down their throat forces them to leave.

No-one is saying don't post cracks, obviously you're going to do that
anyway. Of course it probably won't have any effect on price in any
case. What it _will_ affect is how much revenue the software company
gets, and that in turn affects whether they satay in business to make
more stuff for you to rip off in future, and how much money they have
available to spend on developing something good. The next time you
complain about a lack of good software - think about it.

So, please keep it to the cracks groups. Have your fun, and don't
spoil ours.

Cheers!
John
