The Warez Debate

from WinCustomize Forums
The post has inspired me to start a thread about a good debatable subject, Warez. Should reverse engineering of a program be shared freely on the Web?
And to give this an even bigger ethical spin, If you have the abilty to hack programs with your copy of MAMS that you purchased from Microsoft. Should you use your powers for your own selfish use and hack all your trial programs time limits so you never have to register again or do you purchase the programs anyway?

...let the carnage begin

MAMS? Qu'est-ce que c'est?

And you're in for a treat if anyone bites. There's a viciously anti-warez sentiment here.

I'm not saying I'm Pro-warez and I appologize, my fingers got muddled. The program name is MASM and is Microsoft's Macro Assembler and is used primarily in assembly language programming. My personal oppinions on Warez is that it should never be distributed. The whole reason behind hacking is to better understand how computers and programs work. I'm learning assembly language not because I want free progrmas but because I want to know how computers and programs work better.

I want to be a sys admin, to be a sys admin i need to know Windows 2000 Adv Server. To get Windows 2000 Adv Server, will cost £3,406.32 until i can get a job as a sys admin, i cant afford a copy of Windows 2000 Adv Server. So do i stay at the bottom of the IT ladder or get a copy at a cost of £5 at the most if not free.

thats my argument.

Sent an email to [email protected] for beta testing. Send one every three days...you'll get in eventually. It gets tiring sometimes but the knowledge and goodies are worth it.

I want to be an airplane pilot. But it costs a bunch of money to take pilot classes, rent the planet, and more. Would it be okay if I just borrowed a plane and kidknapped a pilot since I can't afford to do so legitimately?
