Why? Because I have respect for myself as a human being, even if they dont have respect for themselves. So I take my insignificant product fee elsewhere, even though it will make squat difference to their attitudes. In both cases the all the usual justification(s) that comes forth is Fluff, banal, and utterly transparent for what it is - self-justification with no respect for themselves or the Law, whether its Privacy or Copywrite. We cant spend our lives picking and chosing what suits us, that insane route is the road to mayhem. People dont like that, Vote to change the law. Cracking software is illegal, abhorrent and shows a total lack of respect - the same kind of respect those who are crackers yell about wanting - for those who made it, putting in time, effort, and at times blood sweat and tears. So get out of my disk, and expect me to get annoyed if they dont. I am just as entitled to keep my privacy, as they expect me to respect others privacy including their own. A different kind of self interest for sure, but thats what it boils down to - and both know it. Regards Zyįor me its very simple, both the person who cracks software, and the Marketing Director who puts gizmos on my disk, they are both driven by self interest. However to me their credibility goes right out the window when they feel they have to use such methods - use the "letterbox" or "mailbox" (with no embedded hidden feature thank you)like anyone else, so I can see what they are up to.

I would get real Hissed Off if someone sneaked into my house and dumped a marketing leaflet in the hallway, or secretly left an infra-red camera monitoring my movements around the house. I take my insignificant miniscule product fee elsewhere. The same goes for any other vendor that trys to slip things onto my PC using the freebie method - or any other tactic - that I am not aware of. Why am I not surprised, and annoyed, and yet another reason I avoid this DRM nonsense, restricting myself to non DRM games - and yes I am consistent. It seems like the free Creature Creator actually brings SecuROM with it.
