Killing Piracy

[theserpent]

@chaitanya no offense first of all
But you are saying this " Why would you not be happy with what you have? Or what you can get? Is your life so miserable that you would goto any extent to have piece of software even if that involves stealing others' work?"
Again and again

Really, look at all your posts. How you reply to post, let me guess

1. **** thief **** stealing ***** defending
2. **** don't care **** millions **** you purchase Adobe****
3. Professional ***** Adobe ***** buy ****

All your posts comes under these 3 categories.

Completely agree. this person is totally having fun by saying others thief. He simply cannot answer a question whether he watch porn or not. Now I doubt if he have used any legit softwares/games in his lifetime. I want to know your first PC details, when you was ultra noob about Computers.

No, you tell me. What is wrong with my posts there? If Adobe Photoshop is available at a price that you cannot afford , why would you steal it man? Why would you not be happy with what you have? Or what you can get? Is your life so miserable that you would goto any extent to have piece of software even if that involves stealing others' work?

First of all, understand piracy is not stealing. And second, get off of your moral ground and watch it from Indian POV. You are not in US, you are here, deal with it. I understand you recently started buying original games/softwares from your dad's pocket and feeling guilty of all those years of stealing. But not everyone is rich like you. And i want to play that damn game and i cannot afford, But still there is a way to play it by d/l it from TPB. So i am doing this.

Does it hurt developers? No. Why? Even if the game is selling for 2k here i am not going to buy, so i am not literally taking their sales numbers. Does it benefit developers? Yes. Still remember after playingGTA:SA, i feel like i need to own the game and after came to know price is just 499 INR, i bought that game.

So piracy never kills developers/studio. They kill themself by over-pricing it.

Customs on software?

EDIT: Do you belong to any Dals of South? Your intelligence level matches their intelligence level.

That was a reply to the gentleman above. I am no specialist in this field why things cost so heavy?

Even I purchased minecraft after trying a TPB version of it.

Am I wrong? And why would i feel offended by your this particular post after i have been gagged by other users here since morning .

Exactly. I assume, While he owns his first PC, everything would have been pirated and he may not aware of that. But now he is acting on moral ground, after purchasing one game for 299Rs.

AFAIK 100% of PC users in India, pirates(With/without their knowledge). Am i wrong?

Try the game first, if you like it and can afford it buy it if you want

Not at all, we have some computer hardware persons who might be trolling users , saying i am installing original windows pay me 5k

i do see some trolls existing in this thread..
btw, on-topic of Killing Piracy, i'd say you can't completely kill piracy, especially from india, where not only school, college students are proud pirates, but even big institutions, companies (many) do pirate some way or the other..
The porn clips example given in this thread is a great example to show that we all pirate some way or the other, nobody's all clear here, and don't say that it's not piracy, it definitely is, and as they say in hindi: "Chori to Chori hi hoti hai, fir chahe ek baar hi ki jaaye, chhoti ho ya badi"...
And Photoshop CS6??? pfft, that's just an excuse for us, i do agree that amateur wannabe photographers do need it, and can't afford it, but we home users can use GIMP, and it'll fulfill our needs.. (coz i bet none of us home users don't use even 5% of PS abilities, what all we do is available in GIMP)..
And on professional level, some of my Mechanical Engineer buddies joined a big institute to learn AutoCAD, and guess what, they too had the pirated copies there, why?? just see the price of AutoCAD: Amazon.com: AutoCAD 2013 for PC -- Includes a 1 year Autodesk Subscription: Software
it's ~$4k, i.e., ~2lac rupees, guess even most of the professionals can't afford it, forget my college buddies, who need to use that software after the classes were over to practice their skills, and ended up pirating it, and i support that given it's ridiculous high price.. (though i know it's intended for company use, but see the situation here, you need to practice too as a college student.. ).

somebody here is atleast speaking sense.
unlike trolling and counter-trolling here

 

[furious_gamer]

Yes. Our first always comes with Pirated Windows, if not, at least some pirated games/softwares which these H/W walas used to install as gift.

You cannot deny that. Take your first PC purchase and comment on that please.

 

[Nipun]

BTW About pirated photoshop, I agree with ratul. I use paint.net too. It can do everything I want.

I guess the best thing for us to do now is stop commenting here, When our words are not heard and repeated by the same sentence again and again
