What's your opinion about Macwarez?!

**AppleWatcher** · February 23rd, 2002, 02:37 AM

A Day in the Life of...
Holy smokes! I think MacWarez is the only thing on AppleWatcher's mind.

7AM - Wake up & get ready for school. What clothes will I WArez?
12pm - I will sneak out to McDonalds and get a Big MacWArez to eat.
3pm - now WArez that bus that will take me home?
--------------------------

Haha c'mon this thread is 15 (or after this post maybe 16) pages, and I started this thread because I wanted to know other opinions... And I have to add my opinion, of course

yea, and if i don't post on schedule, he asks "WArez Ed?"

so Applewatcher, i will be putting together my new wheelbarrow and working in the yard more this weekend if the weather allows. so there is one less Warez you will have to worry about

btw - theed has started a slightly different slant on this subject in the non tech forum for anybody who is really interested in discussion and not just winning an arguement or rationalizing behaviors

I may still say more here but this circular arguing is as bad as trying to reason with a troll at times.

Sorry guys, sorry, sorry I do apologize

I think we all agree that piracy is morally wrong and you should pay for software. That said, many of us are students (college or younger) and don't exactly make enough money to drop half-a-grand on apps. I don't really want to get into it, but I would hope that these forums take the stance where, we don't support warez, but we don't fly off the hook when someone asks about it or eludes to the fact that they use it.

I can't stand reading posts in MacAddict about LimeWire or Morpheus and reading some self-righteous Jhole telling people to 'spend the $15 and buy the CD.'

Hehe... just for future reference, you can hit the "quote" button below and to the right of the user's post that you wanna quote to make it show up as a "real" quote, nice and easy -- instead of putting some dashes in, copying & pasting and putting some more dashes in to signal the end of the quote.

Not trying to be tacky... just letting you in on that! It took me a while to see that feature, but it's saved me a ton of misunderstanding on who I'm replying to and a lot of keyboard shortcuts!

Whoops! Sorry, Applewatcher... I saw that you did that on subsequent posts... sorry! I wish someone would have told me about it at first instead of me fiddling with it and finally finding out how easy it was...

BTW -- I'm still against warez downloading...
